Another .45 Caliber Luger Mystery

[John Sabato]

I didn't think so either Jerry...

I didn't think there was enough space to hollow out the frame for a .45 mag and that was why Wyatt had created his top-loaders...

the Cap'n and I are exchanging emails as we speak... but the additional Hi-res photos will have to wait since they are all at least 1MB in size and he said he will snail mail me a CD tomorrow. His estimate for sending them via email was a whopping 12 hours on his slow dial-up connection.

He has confirmed that the frame is pretty standard for 9mm dimensions... but the photos will tell the whole story. I also asked what the other side of the mag looks like, if it has a loading button and if the gun is equipped with a holdopen and if it is functional...(sorry about the run-on sentence) I asked him if he owned a "standard 9mm frame for comparison, and if the .45 frame shows signs of being broached for the larger mag...

Still Waiting for the answers.

It is VERY interesting that the upper receiver is of apparent Stoeger origin...

Notice in the HI=RES shot of the top of the front sight that the sight's witness mark does NOT have a corresponding mark on the front sight base... Probably a hand-made barrel.

It certainly is a NEAT looking LUGER!
