There is also a section in Datig's book, revised section, 1962 publishing, page 239, that discusses a private sale of a test Luger, Serial # 10030 B, authorized by the Sec of War from June 3rd 1910 and purchased Nov 7 1913 from Springfield Armory. The magazine wasn't correct and they sent several letters back and forth and got the problem corrected.

So obviously a handful or more were sold this way. I imagine some are in gov't museums also?
