Clark, I do not have all my books with me, and I have mentioned this before, but maybe not to you.

There is another quote much like the first one above of some Test Lugers sold, given as gifts etc, but I do not remember where I read it.

On my computer, I started a folder where I kept postings and info on Test Lugers when first fascinated by them.

I would expect, only by luck that ANY papers would remain; however, the following would be papers that would have been made at some point:

1. Into country shipping manifiests
2. Tauscher would have inventoried everything
3. The US Army would have inventoried, by number each gun when received
4. The Army would have inventoried each weapon being issued to each unit
5. Each unit would have acknowledged they received the weapon
6. Depot repair would have inventoried each weapon if sent in for repair
7. When all recalled they would have been inventoried and those weapons missing would have had to be paid for or logically given a reason why they were missing or destroyed
8. Complete inventory prior to sale of weapons
9. Bannerman would likely have inventoried by number and not just said, 732 lugers, even if they just accepted the army's inventory

Just from so many years, these luger records would have been destroyed, but there is always the chance some remain, stuck in some kind of archived file.
