I am going by memory here.

Further information added:
The Luger Pistol, revised edition 1962: PG 137; Very few of these pistols were produced, reportedly not more than a dozen...

The previous statement I could not find, there is a letter from Georg Luger JR, that states; ..the holster and magazine that were given by my father, belonged to my grandfather, Georg Luger. They were the only pieces left over from the collection as we naturally had to destroy everything with the coming of the Russians...

And also in the book it states; most of the weapons...had been able to sell.. ...would have confiscated by the Russian Occupation Troops (including selling a model 1906/06 (?) seven shot...)

That the baby Luger turned up from a former GI for sale in the 60's, I remember that from a Guns and Ammo article. I will research this in a few minutes. (could not find anything about this, so that is strictly from memory).
