But Johnny, while what you said is true, it does not account for any possibly existing original .45 caliber Lugers that have NOT been publicly seen or previously reported. My gut instincts, without any additional evidence is that this is what we are dealing with here...

I ponder the recent discovery of the .45 caliber carbine and I have to wonder... if it is proven to be of the correct vintage, and it is serial number 21... How many more may exist? That is a lot of if's... How can we or any other authority prove beyond a shadow of a doubt whether or not this gun was produced in the early part of the last century?... We need some scientific input from knowledgeable sources to answer this question. I don't know the answers, but I certainly have plenty of questions... [img]confused.gif[/img]
