Post Norton Gallery Catalog

I ran into this tasty little item in a bookstore this afternoon, its the catalog for a Norton Gallery exhibition from 1971. It must have been an amazing display, the catalog includes lots of gloriously engraved guns, many of them Lugers and other early European autoloaders. All the photos inside are in black and white (darn!), but it does include a small photo of their .45 Luger.

The lesson here is, always look at the most unlikely items. This was tucked away between two much more substantial volumes (its staple-bound, doesn't even have a spine), I don't have a clue what made me pull it out and look at it, but am I ever glad I did!
