OK, this is not an area I pay much attention to, so let me see if I have this right...The 1901 Test Trial Lugers include the 'Bannerman' Lugers that so much excitement arouses???

And the 1907 Trials were for a larger caliber handgun than the 38 caliber revolvers that were so ineffective against doped-up insurgents???

In 1901 DWM invited outside nations to test the Luger, while in 1907 it was the US military inviting manufacturers to submit handguns for testing??? Does that sound correct, in a general way???
