Baby 9mm

The pistol mentioned above is shown in Kenyon's "Lugers at Random" and is termed a "Seven Shot Prototype", and is essentially the standard Model 1906 with a shorter barrel and grip frame. Also in Kenyon's book is pictured a "Baby" which was chambered in either .380 or .32ACP. The most noteable difference in the Seven Shot and the Baby is the safety. The "Baby" is also pictured in an old issue of Shooting Times when it belonged to Carl Wilson.
I may be off on the serial number, but I believe Simpson Ltd. sold one of the "Seven Shot" pistols serial numbered 10075B within the past few years. Without serial number documentation, how would anyone know which one belonged to Georg Luger?
