Specifically mention a long barrel luger twice, but it happened in 1903? What could it have been?

RK,
I'd guess it was a M1900; that barrel looks long when compared with the popular pocket pistols of the era.

I agree with Tom; probably a 1900.

H L Mencken's comment drew a chuckle. It's true to his sense of wit.

I wonder where that gun is now? Bet it would be worth a few bucks with this story...

Just be patient. It will show up on AA in a few weeks with provenance.
