Have been mulling over the 2 previous threads (from the August time frame) about how many .45 pistols DWM might have made.

It seemed that many folks will argue that only two (2) are authenticated.

My question was still to try to figure out how many DWM and GL actually made.

(And no, I am not talking about the recently surfaced .45 carbine...)

Here is an e-mail I sent to a friend that I would like to post for others opinions and comments :

" Do you think it likely that DWM made only 2 pistols and then let George hop on a boat, sail to America , and risk the ship going down with all .45 pistols ever made ? I do not think the Germanâ??s would have been that silly. And do not forget, August Weiss is documented saying that there were â??no more than six (6) .45 pistols madeâ?. "

Regards,
