I have the Jones book, 1959, but not the revised edition...There is no color frontispiece (and no missing pages) but it does have a B&W pic on pg 108 and under comments on the facing page, Jones writes "Two of these Lugers, serials 1 and 2, were brought here in 1907 to be used as test weapons by the US Army...The specimen illustrated is serial number 2; serial 1 has not been found, nor has the prototype for these 45's..."
It is described as a model 1906, monogrammed GL on rear toggle link, unmarked center link, LOADED on extractor, serial on frame, no chamber/safety.receiver markings, and no proofs...
Also states that it was demonstrated by Georg Luger his own self...
