Bob Hope some where in the Pacific~ Bob used his own brand of medicine! My Grandma knew Francis Langford who was married to Ralph Evinrude. Their Outrigger Restaurant was and still is is on the Indian River, in Jensen Beach. They docked their beautiful and large yacht, the 'Chanta Claire' behind their restaurant~I only remember her large dresses that they all wore late 50s. She was a definite "Hottie" and a wonderful and generous classy women! They helped fund FIT, Florida Institute of Technology here in Jensen Beach~ dhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2CD2MXSTTU

Sergio Its a favorite of mine! Ralph Shattuck and Fred Datig the first three below who have since passed away! Charles Kenyan of Lugers At Random is in photograph four! Charles did more than anyone to bring to our attention the vast numbers and varieties of lugers. He only scratched the surface! He opened eyes and price rose acordingly. This video should be a must see for all kinds of luger collectors both old and new! Its a reminder why we love and collect them. Sorry for the poor quality of pictures. I'm having to photograph off my screen! Thanks again Sergio for your friendly support and interest!~ Eric

The photo shows Bob Hope firing a 1919A4 BMG from the hip, "John Wayne" style. The similar photo below shows a soldier in the same pose firing the earlier 1917 BMG
