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

Johnny,

Of course you are correct, one pistol was thought to have been destroyed after the 1907 US Trials, so we presently have two other pistols "authenticated" and ownership known...

Does anyone know the details of how and where the .45 pistol uncovered in 1960 came from ? (I believe this 1960 find is the "Norton" gun.)

If this 3rd. gun stayed back in Germany, is there any documentation on how it got over to the USA and how Harry Jones came by it ?

Just interested in more of the history...

Finally, is there any info. out there about that gun # 5, that number keeps popping up from time to time. Any folks on the Forum seen this # 5 or have friends that have ?

I have contacted Mr.Michael Reese II about this, but did not receive a reply...

Regards,

Pete... <img src="graemlins/yltype.gif" border="0" alt="[typing]" />
