I also have Reese's Luger Tips, with the 3-sight carbine on the cover. Reese acknowledges that Ralph Shattuck is "...the top Luger dealer in the United States whose Lugers can be seem throughout this publication".

Given that Eric bought his carbine from Ralph, I think it is quite possible that the carbine Eric bought is the one on the Luger Tips cover, courtesy of Ralph.
