Hi Douglas, Thanks for the great essay. Brazil's turbulent history, as you describe it, is particularly interesting. It's not just the climate that's hot down there! Best regards, Norm.

Norme,

Thanks for your words.
An additional information: when the outlaw Lampião (which means "lantern", his real name was Virgulino Ferreira da Silva) was killed and beheaded with twelve othe members of his gang, a picture of their heads was taken. They are displayed with several guns and objects that had belonged to the group. In this picture it is possible to see several Lugers.

I had posted this picture before, but I think I won't do it again because it can be disturbing to someone more sensitive about viewing human remains.

Greetings,

Douglas.
