I think you SHOULD continue the actual history of the Luger and it's creators. There are many variants and fakes out there, many unanswered questions. Ralph likely had the greatest knowledge of the light and dark side of this issue.

If you are going to tell the story of Ralph, tell the true story or as much as you can get from those who had dealings with him. The few I had were an unwanted, ... but needed education.

Contact the "Old Timers", I'm sure each has a tale or two. I had to laugh at a post someone recently made about a "Black Widow Mauser", I'm sure it's still here at the top. The term that something was "Shattuck-Y" was coined.

Here ya go Chris, I found it, the author can take credit if he desires:

p.s. A black bakelite-bottom mag would make it 100% Shattuck-y.
