Test Luger Instruction Manuals

Mike, I have thought about this subject a lot. I bet they had records, just like you said. problem is, local records, i.e. local camp or post records would be destroyed a few years after their usefulness was gone. Even 10 years later, they'd just be destroyed. Most local records would never be sent to a central collection point, unless requested. As luger collectors, we center on these "test lugers", but there were lots of test guns from before 1900 until adoption in 1911 of the Colt.
