I looked in all my books that have pictures of the 45 Luger. All of them except for Reese show a picture of the Aberman gun, and credit the photo to him or as it being a picture of his gun. The picture in Reese's book looks like a poor reproduction of an old picture. His picture is the only one that shows a magazine beside the gun instead of a cartridge or nothing at all. I can find no credit for the photo in Reese's book, it would be interesting to know where he obtained it. There does definitely seem to be a difference in the shape of the backstrap and the curve at the rear of the butt. I have no answer for you. [img]frown.gif[/img]
