66Mustang, your memory is not all that bad. The book was Datig's "The Luger Pistol" in it Datig does state that only two Lugers came to the U S for military testing. He has a picture of pistol #2 on page 103, at that time it was in the collection of Sidney Aberman, P.O. Box 4645, Pittsburg 6, PA. He surmises that pistol #1 was probably destroyed during or following the tests. The Gov. later ordered 200 45 Lugers from Tascher but Luger refused to make them.
