[Edward Tinker]

This is what I have been told by several well-known collectors, and thus a SWAG theory;

1. One of the 45 Lugers was left here, the other test gun was destroyed during testing.

2. The other existing 45 Luger was brought to America via a Canadian Officer/Civilian who picked it up from the factory, just after the war, sold it to a well-known collector, who sold it immediatly afterwards to a guy in LA.

So, as Gerben said, one was a test piece, the other was a model that was left at the factory.

3. Being made by hand, a SWAG suggests that the model at the factory was made first, they didn't like the angle, and thus the two test pieces were made and sent to Amerika.
