Pete,

Its p.97 of the softbound revised edition. It is a reproduction of the document, "List Of Troops Of U.S. Cavalry, to the Commanding Officer Of Each Of Which 5 Luger Pistols Have Been Shipped, On the Dates and to the Places specified."

The first entry is November 7, 1901, to Fort Ethan Allen. There are also shipping dates of November 9, November 12, and November 19 to other destinations, accounting for 900 pistols. Reese notes that the remaining 100 guns were the ones retained at Springfield Armory.

Capt. White's summary report is found on p.100.

The ambiguity of being able to read the framed document as the report date, rather than the issue date, is what is misleading.
