More information from the Norton Gallery on the .45 Cal Luger

I thought I would share some information that Mr. Jerry Bloomer just emailed to me on the .45 caliber Luger in the possession of the Norton Gallery.

========================

...there is no serial number on the Luger in question, but the magazine has the number 3. According to the information we have had on our Model 1906 .45 cal. pistol, there were only two (or perhaps three) Lugers of this caliber made for the U.S. Army trials in 1907. We would appreciate knowing where the information, as to the possible number of 6 pistols, came from.

Thanks for the info. on the Luger forum website. I will be sure to log on as soon as possible.

========================

When the snail mail information, inluding a photograph, that he has sent to me arrives, I will post it here as well.
