Serial No's 6052 and 6054 were cased presentation pieces from DWM to William F. Reed and G. H. Powell. Mr. Powell was responsible for the Powell Cartridge Indicating Device or "Cartridge Counter" Luger. If anyone has Bender's Luger holster book, there is suppose to be information on the Reed presentation piece on page 527.

The Test Trials pistols were not a seperate series, but were simply taken from commercial production, and the actual numbers may never be known.
