.45 Confusion

Your confusion is understandable. Over the years, many ".45 Luger" stories have been told. It is a long way from being resolved but as I understand it, there are two verifiable .45 caliber Lugers in existence (with Ralph's being a third and exciting addition!). Serial number 2 is in a private collection (the former Sid Aberman Luger as featured in Guns & Ammo), an un-numbered and Crown/N proofed example is in the museum collection in Louisiana. Serial number 1 was presumably destroyed during the US test trials. Rumors of serial number 5 have been around for quite some time, but no tangible evidence has been forthcoming.
