.45 luger

Which brings to mind a good question. How many .45 pistols were actually built? I had heard someplace that there were five of them built by Georg Luger. One of them is in private hands now. Another was given to Teddy Roosevelt as a gift and is in the Smithsonian. And the final three were shot out during testing and sent to the Philipeans. How does this compare with what others have heard or know?
