This is off topic and I'm sorry but this is a pet peeve of mine .. being of German, Austrian heritage.

Luger's first name is not George but Georg ... pronounced 'Gee,org or G,org.

Georg Johann Luger https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Luger

Of course it's ok to call him George if you wish ... millions do ... but doesn't Georg sound better ??
I sincerely hope that I have not offended anyone as it is not my intent ... what I truly love about lugerforum is its vast information and learning database.

I love and respect everyone here.
