Hello LugermanNH,

Had I known that one cannot "pause" on the screensaver disk to study each jpeg in more detail, I would not have spent the $ 20.00 for the CD-ROM.

Since some controversial luger photos are displayed (see my earlier posting about some specific photos...), I think it would only be fair that I, as owner of the disk, would have the ability to study the guns in more detail...

One 1906 Navy appears to have the characteristic "dimple" at the apex of its stock lug slot which seems to be a WWII Mauser trait. But the < 5 seconds this photo is displayed, certainly does not allow this luger student to confirm what "I think I see" and to look at this jpeg in more detail...

I had no intentions of making boot-legged copies. I was just asking a friend if he could help me "freeze" the photos...on the disk I own...

It is sort of like buying a book and then having the pages turned, automatically, for you every 5 seconds and you cannot stop the process...

Finally...I cannot speak for other LF members, but I usually try to reference a book, author name, and even page number when I post a photo here on our Forum from another source...

p.s.

Big Norm,...that is a carbine that is engraved for HSM...not an artillery...Ralph let me hold it on one of my visits. Can you imagine he paid $ 1,250.00 for it in the 1950's...and he was in trouble with the missus when he did so...

Regards,

Pete...
