This may be of interest to some of you:

I recently visited the Truman Presidential library in Independence Missouri. They have a Luger that was used by Griselio Torresola in the 1950 attempted assassination of President Truman. There was also a P38 used by the other would-be assassin Oscar Collazo.

The black and white photo shows the Luger in the grass next to the body of Mr. Torresola.

Here are some links describing the event in greater detail:
