It will be interesting to see what it says about the .45 Luger. Since I sometimes enjoy instigating a spirited discussion, I think I will once again voice one of my favorite opinions that the .45 shown in this illustration is the actual piece used in the test trials and the grip configuration is quite different than serial #2 from the old Aberman collection and the one in the Norton Gallery.

Great buy for a "whole Euro"! Your literature collection is coming along quite nicely.
