Some of you may remember the article in Guns and Ammo almost 15 years back when they featured the "Million Dollar Luger". The pistol was one of the .45 caliber Lugers sent to Springfield Armory for testing when Ordnance was looking to change to an automatic pistol from the revolver. The .45 Luger in the article, by Garry James, was proclaimed to be the only one in existence. Since this was the days of snail mail, I sent a letter to Mr. James letting him know that another .45 Luger was in the Norton Gallery in Shreveport, Louisiana, and had been for a long time. I never received a reply, so assumed that maybe the letter wasn't delivered and sent another. Same results. I guess it would have blown the cover story if they had to make it know that another .45 Luger existed. Turns out that the supposed owner of the .45 Luger in G&A wasn't the owner at all, and the same guy did time over helping scam a wealthy collector.
So much for objectivity in G&A articles.
