Eric,
No, that is the Sid Aberman Luger. Its just a bad photograph. The Greg Martin auction was a fiasco as I recall. There was a long que of bids in the pipeline when the hammer came down; thus cutting the value of the million dollar Luger in half, not considering whether it was ever truly a million dollar Luger in the first place. Its twin is in the R.W. Norton Museum in Shreveport, LA |

Yes, sad but true. Her daughter was a contestant on some TV "got talent" program about a year ago. I'll never forget watching FloJo run in those striped spandex suits she wore so well.

 I was shocked; 'FloJo' was only 38...I always thought Lyle Alzado was an extreme case...But it appears that he was only one of the early demises...
