Dwight,
in that one gratuitous closeup of a luger in the movie "The Lost Battalion", the Luger not only had VOPO grips but it also had an aluminum bottom magazine.
One of my favorite movies is "Zulu". There is a British actor who played the sargent and everytime he plays a British military man, in any movie, he just dominates the whole movie and "Zulu" was no exception. What a powerful presence he has. Something like John Wayne in his movies and Mel Gibson in his latest Veitnam movie and the guy who played the German tank commander in the "Battle of the Bulge". Some actors just seem the have that certain something that makes them stand out. George Peppard in the "Blue Max" had it and Nicholas Gage could have it if he got the right movie.
