This information and image was made from a photocopy of the catalog of their firearms exhibits that was graciously provided to me through the courtesy of Mr. Jerry Bloomer, Secretary of the Board, R.W. Norton Art Gallery, Shreveport, LA.<br />
<br />
<br />
Their catalog is available for purchase, and the information to obtain a catalog, should you so desire,is provided below in a post by Mr. Bloomer.<br />

Perhaps when the webmaster (Dok) gets back from his California excursion, he will add this image to the Luger Forum history page on the .45 caliber Luger.<br />
<br />
<br />
It is very interesting to note that the maker)
Would anyone on the forum know for sure where the only other .45 caliber Luger that is known to exist is today?
Johnny Peppers told me in a private email that he believes that it is in the private collection of a Mr. Ellis, but he did not have any other information.
I believe that the infomation in the Norton Gallery Catalog stating that .45 caliber Luger serial #2 is in a private collection in the Pittsburgh PA area is no longer valid.
