Who remembers comic book character "Sarge Steel" with his steel fist and Luger?

Who remembers the 1960's comic book character "Sarge Steel" with his steel left hand and his omnipresent shoulder holstered nickel plated luger (author called it "silver") he always used ? One of my favorite Charlton comics detective characters of the 1960's. I didn't keep track of him after D.C. years later acquired the character from Charlton.

I think reading about him in comics when I was a little kid in the early to mid 1960's, was my very first introduction to what a Luger was and looked like. He always used a Luger and was the only comic hero I know of that did from that era (early to mid 1960's). Matter of fact, he's the ONLY comic hero I can remember who always used a luger (at least while his character was at Charlton comics before D.C. acquired him). Read about him at these below links.

Nazis and former Nazis made the best villians for us kids in the '60's didn't they? Lol. Gee, you think "The Smiling Skull" might have been a ripoff of Captain America's villainous adversary "The Red Skull"? Naw, just a coincidence....riiiight. Lol. Never fear, Sarge Steel with his steel fist and "silver" Luger will prevail. Be sure to tune in next week....err, I mean to buy the next issue to find out the exciting ending. Lol. Just like the old t.v. and movie serials. I sorely miss those days.
