Lugers in movies

"Wall Street" has a scene where a wealthy gun collector is showing off his .45 Luger, and proudly boasting that "only six of them were made." I wouldn't call this a Hollywood gun goof, because from what I've read, the number of .45 Lugers manufactured is unknown. Only one is known to exist though.

of the details about their having one of the .45 caliber Lugers in their holdings. I will post their reply when I get it. They don't have posted hours on Monday, so it will probably be later in the week..
