The First Luger

This gun was examined at a Reno show a few years ago. Those present (I cannot mention names because of lack of permission but Ralph Shattuck had already passed away!). Most felt that this was a complete fabrication. I recall it being mentioned that early toggle trains like this had been newly made. Also there was concern about the trigger, the feeling being that it should have been the narrow early type. The seller was not present during this session. Ron's advice is well taken.
