No Thomas, I mean genuine .45 Lugers made in 1910-11, not those from Mike Krause. When DWM had proposed 5,000 .45 Lugers at $25 each for later orders in a letter dated 12th August 1907, I suppose that DWM would have made at least 10-15 pistols (second models)with the available tools that they made for this small run. If it is recorded that Mauser made about ten .45 pistols in two variations (i.e. the M1912 pistols and the M1912/14 Armee pistols in caliber .45), why would DWM, a larger factory negotiating a major deal with an important buyer, produce only three .45 pistols in 3-4 years? I believe that DWM would have made more that three pistols in 1910-11, and I have the serial number of one other pistol which I cannot share at the moment, except that is between serial number 5-10.
