Luger Predecessor ???

I understand that during the later part of the 19th century, many well known European firearms designers spent some of their formative years in the U.S. working with major manufacturers. During that time in the Precision Valley of New England (somewhat defined as the Connecticut River Valley from southern Vermont to southern CT) future German machinists would come here in their early teens to do their apprenticeships. Some would stay and some would return to Europe.
