Ed,

That's a great photo!

Pete and Ed,

I found my photo and the cowboy in question. The good news is he's a Sheriff and he's clearly wearing a Luger in a holster. The bad news is there is no mention of the Mexican Revolution and it's not dated. I'm not sure where I got that unless I was thinking it looked like it dated to around 1911-1923. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

It's in "Guns and Gunfighters" - 1982 - no author - From the the Editors of Guns and Ammo - page 205.

If you are still interested, I'll try to scan it somewhere and post it here - this may take a while as I don't own a scanner.

On another note, I found out there's another photo out there in R. L. Wilson's book "The Peacemakers:Arms and Adventure in the American West" - 1992 - page 199. I'll look at the gun show this weekend for a copy.

I've got some feelers out for photos of Lugers and the Mexican Rev., so we'll see.

John
