When I lived in Tampa, in the mid 1980s, I loved the Lakeland Show!!

In fact, there is where I saw and got to handle one of the surviving .45 Army Test Lugers!

When I came around the corner and saw it on display on one of the tables (under glass of course) the owner opened the case, pulled out the Luger and handed it to me for inspection. At first, I thought it must have been a fake, but after talking to the owner, who's name I have long forgotten, I decided that the pistol was, indeed, an original.

Nothing has ever happened to me like that since!
