Luger lust, eye candy

More like almost 20 years ago!

The article was “We Shoot the Million $$ .45 Luger” and was in the June 1994 edition of “Guns & Ammo”. It was written by Garry James and is an account of the examination, photography and subsequent range firing on the Amberman .45 Luger that was the property of Michael Zomber at that time (the value of $1 Million was Zomber’s valuation!). An approximate total of 20 rounds were passed through the gun without malfunction, two into a bullet trap after the gun was initially cleaned and inspected and then about 18 more at the firing range. The conclusion was that the gun was easily capable of 1½ to two-inch groups at 25 yards.

Almost 20 years ago, time is not on my side.
Thanks to Ron Wood for the info and to "mrerick" for the link to Norton Art Foundation. The info from the link states there is a "GL" monogram on the rear of the rear toggle. Guess I will have to make another trip to see that in person!
