Only Two (2) .45 Luger Pistols...?

Pete,
I think it is pretty well accepted that there were at least three of the .45 Lugers. Two were sent to Springfield and this is documented by surviving records, ane the third is the one that surfaced in the 1960 time frame. The third .45 is thought by some to be the backup to the two that were sent to Springfield. Remember that anything that came to the U.S. from Europe had to come by boat and no more would have been given to putting it on a boat than we would think of putting something on UPS or FEDX. Also, if I remember correctly Georg Luger delivered and demostrated the .45 Luger himself.
