Fleur de Lys marked lugers

Ron, you are, as usual, correct in your above post. Ever since I was shown this rig by the maker of one of your coveted lugers, I was fascinated by it. I will begin to piece together the provenence of this rig and, again, learning my lesson, will e-mail you gems like this directly to you for your comments. If these guys cannot enjoy great stuff like this (perhaps because it's not theirs!), then we can enjoy them among ourselves. I repeat that the likes of Robert Simpson, Charles Whittaker and even Don Hallock all saw this rig and were impressed.

Hi Herb, Please don't think we are anything but grateful that you took the time and trouble to post pictures of this remarkable set. True or false it's one of the most interesting posts I've seen in a while. You must realize though, that when such experienced experts as Simpson, Whittaker and Hallock state that they have never seen anything like this set before, it's hardly support for originality, just the opposite! As to the illustration in "Luger, The Multi-National Pistol", I believe that many of the guns shown have since been discredited and one of it's co-authors has since served time in jail for fraud. Best regards, Norm
