I'll never be as knowledgeable as you, Gerben, on the history of the Luger, but isn't your judgement of GL perhaps a little harsh?
Was he not responsible for re-engineering the Borchardt from an awkward, unwieldy device into a truly usable pistol, or was the actual work done by others, and he claimed credit?
