<strong>I was in the Norton Gallery today, taking a break. It was nearly empty. I was admiring the collection in the gun room. The curator came in and we talked. He pointed to #3, during the course of our general conversation and said "to some that one is worth a million dollars. There are only 2 in the world and we recently acquired the other one but have no room to display it at this time." I was out of time and had to get to my next appointment. I asked him if it was #2, the one I'd heard was in California. He stated it was #2. Interesting lunch break at any rate...</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva">I have been here at the Norton Art Gallery for over 40 years and have done curatorial work on all of our art collections in addition to the firearms collection.

I'm not sure who the gentleman spoke with concerning our Luger 45.APC pistol, but to set the record straight, we DO NOT own #2 or any other Luger 45.cal pistol except the one marked 3 on the magazine which is on permanent display in our firearms gallery.
