Luger Story (Walter, 2001) mentioned that #19 was probably the gun appeared in British journal "Engineering" in May 1895 (page 32). Walter did not say that he saw #19 or not.... probably he did, otherwise, how did he know it looked like the one printed on the journal. Assume the one printed on the British journal was #19, I just compared, it looks different from this #19 in auction. This is another #19.

Or, the #19 Walter saw was actually this one, but he wrongly thought it's the same gun as printed in the British journal?
