Those Mysterious Forty-fives

Ed, you just scratch the surface. One has to mention the two different grip angles on the original prototype and later to be production gun that never materialized. A good resource to read is the last series of Charles Kenyon's Lugers at Random column in the now defunct Gun Report. Also, required reading on this subject should be pages 457-467 of the Pistole Parabellum by Gortz and Sturgess (the first edition). I think that most of Steve D.'s questions would be answered by these references. Also, the Aberman .45 luger rests in deep seclusion in the safe of a brewery magnate in Southern California after its acquisition at a recent Greg Martin auction.
