Yes. Oddly enough, the first Luger manual was in English. It was printed in 1900 and still referred to the "Borchardt-Luger's System". It most likely was the manual provided with the U.S. Test Trials Lugers. I know of only a small handful in collections, Charles Whittaker has two, there was one in the Sturgess collection and I have one, there are probably a few more but not many...it is one of the rarest Luger documents.
