Shattuck Lugers?

[lew1]

Ralph was always He was gracious, polite and and friendly with me.

But I made a few purchases (Lugers and accessories) from him which, with one exception, turned out to have problems. The one exception was a Hi Power - I was at the Nashville show of the Tennessee Gun Collectors in the middle 70s, was talking to Ralph when a gentleman came up to Ralph, handed Ralph a Hi Power and said that this was the one he had mentioned to Ralph. Ralph paid him for it. I asked if I could see it and asked Ralph what he wanted for it. I went home with it.

Ralph had it - at most - 5 minutes in his possession. It took me 30 years to find out what it was. And that occurred only because I saw the markings in a book on German bayonets. It has an Eagle over LS. Could have been Luftshutz, etc. Turned out it is was used by the members of the Luftwaffe Schule. I know this one is legit.
