Mystery .45 cal. Luger Pistol...?

Pete Ebbink · 04-14-2003, 12:40 AM

In John Walter's book, The Luger Story, on page 71; there is a photo of a .45 luger pistol. The gun's serial number is not mentioned.

The photo credit is given to a Mr. Joseph J. Schroeder.

Does anyone know which .45 luger pistol this is/was ?

Do I assume it belonged/belongs to a European collector (i.e. Mr. Schroeder) ?

Is this .45 pistol another serial number, other than # 2 or the Norton Gallery pistol ?

Might this be the serial # 5 that Michael Reese mentioned in his book, Luger Tips, that he personally held...?

Regards,
