Letter from Mike Reese

For those of you who may not know who Michael Reese was or is, he was one of the first Luger collector to endeavor to uncover the mysteries of the American Eagle Luger test series. He lived in New Orleans Louisiana not very far from my home. Having developed an interest in Lugers, we meet on several occasions to discuss his studies and work into uncovering the mysteries of the test eagles. I visited his home on several occasions. The year was approximately 1968. I was only 14 years old at the time but my interest in Lugers had began to develop mostly by watching "COMBAT". I was too young to drive but I had a friend who was 17 and believe it or not my Father, who owned a Chevrolet dealership allowed us to drive to New Orleans. I am attaching copies one of the many letters I received from Mike. I just happen to find it tonight while going through some old paper work. I hope you enjoy.
