That sure is a nice Luger. I have always like them and I have a 1921 DWM I bought from a tenant.

Regarding the lugers tested by the Army when the 1911 was adapted, I think the later test involved three Lugers (1907 trials) especially made in .45 cal. As I heard it they had fatter grips. Supposedly one was worn out and two still exist. These were the only .45 cal Lugers ever made in Germany. The army ordered 200 more, but for whatever reason Georg Luger returned the order.
