"Mystery" commercial luger

It would be a happy surprise to learn that Fred Datig is still among us. Basically, his writing career seems to have stopped in the early 1990s. He had planned a 7-book series on the history of the Swiss Luger, of which only 2 were published. Add to that the fact that his earliest books were written in the 1950s and that he served during WW2, combined with a very low profile for many years, it is hard to reach another conclusion, really?

If I understand correctly, his son, who bears the same name, is in his seventies also.

John Walter had a good working relationship with a mutual friend, who confirmed this a couple of years ago.
