Origins Of The Norton .45 Luger...?

Pete Ebbink · 03-14-2003, 10:13 AM

Hello Glen,

1. Thanks so much for your first hand report of the Norton .45 and your trip to the Gallery. I also appreciate you reporting that the Norton Gallery folks were a bit disappointed in not being contacted by the "Million Dollar Guns" documentarty folks...

2. On another matter; you mentioned a 1920 Erfurt with 18" bbl. in the Gallery. Can you tell us more about this luger. As a luger beginner, I was thought to believe Erfurts were made up to 1918 only with their LP-08's made in 1914 (and a few questionably in 1915 and 1917...). What is the history of a 1920 Erfurt ?

Best Regards,

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