Days Gone By

Peter von Frantzius seems to have been an interesting character, and I'm not surprised to see him mentioned in this context. He ran a respectable sporting goods business in the front of the store, and at the same time he was selling machine guns to the mob in a back room. At the time he was called "The Armorer of Gangland", and he's also the man behind the Franzite grips.

By the way: The first article appears to be about the military trials, and the reporter calls the Luger a "revolver that carries 116 shots". The education level of reporters hasn't changed a bit.
