Number Of Lugers in .45 Cal. ???

Pete,
When Scott Meadows was writing his latest book "U.S. Military Automatic Pistols 1894-1920" he was not aware of the .45 Luger in the Norton Gallery. In conversation the .45 Luger was brought up, and I mentioned the fact that he didn't live too terribly far from a .45 Luger. He visited with the Norton Gallery to try and gain information on the pistol, but was not allowed to view the Luger other than just like anyone else that walked in off the street.
There is a picture of the Luger in his book, but is probably one provided by the Norton Gallery. The only person known to have actually examined the pistol was Joe Schroeder who appraised it for the Norton Gallery for their insurance company.
By the way, the Scott Meadows book has a great section on the test Lugers.
