Hey Ron,

Accepting the fact that the Swiss and Dutch made modifications to the pre-production Lugers during the various tests, what is your opinion on the strawed sear on British Test Luger #26? Do you think the British tried to improve on the sear in England or changed it, or did it come from DWM in this manner? Do you think the Swiss Cross on the chamber for a Luger sent to England for testing was used for a marketing strategy by DWM? Do any of the so-called early 'Dutch' Test Lugers have a Swiss cross on the chamber?

I know for a fact that the British were not satisfied with 7.65 mm cartridge after testing it on (dead) sheep to determine penetration and woundage, but do you believe that they also made comments about various parts of the Lugers that may have been flawed in the same manner as the Swiss who were quite 'critical' about weight, triggers, safety etc?

Your comments and opinions as well as other forum members would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Albert
