“US Army test Luger in 45 ACP. Two were made to compete against the 1911. Nobody knows what happened to them.”

From what I understand s/n 1 was destroyed in Army testing....believe it was around 1907ish was the testing time frame.

S/N 2 is owned by a private collector. An article was done on it around 1992 or so. I have the article. The owner let the magazine writers shoot it. At that time the gun was valued at $1M.

The gun was used/taken a part and measured and a private group made a limited run of pistols to duplicate the 45 Luger....I want to say those guns are going for $8k each all said and done. They make a limited run of them. Here is a link....

    A Marine stands guard while a brave young child dies.
    “Every now and then, in the middle of the constant barrage of crap that’s just pissing us all off these days, we come across a story, a feat, an event that just makes us stop in our tracks. This was one for me.
    “Cody Green was a 12-year kid in Indiana who was diagnosed with leukemia at 22 months old. He loved the Marines, and his parents said he drew strength and courage from the Marine Corps as ... he bravely fought the battle into remission three times. Although he was cancer-free at the time, the chemotherapy had lowered his immune system and he developed a fungus infection that attacked his brain. Two weeks ago, as he struggled to fend off that infection in the hospital, the Marines wanted to show how much they respected his will to live, his strength, honor and courage. They presented Cody with Marine navigator wings and named him an honorary member of the United States Marine Corps.
    “For one Marine, that wasn't enough ... so that night, before Cody Green passed away, he took it upon himself to stand guard at Cody's hospital door all night long, 8 hours straight.
    “Nowhere on the face of this planet is there a country so blessed as we to have men and women such as this.

FORT BRAGG, N.C. (WNCN)– The Fort Bragg community is rallying behind one of their own who is currently in the hospital.

Rock Merritt is a World War II paratrooper who jumped into Normandy and fought in the Battle of the Bulge.

He also fought in Vietnam and went on to serve as the First Command Sergeant Major of the 18th Airborne Corps. Fort Bragg said he’s the only soldier to hold the position twice.

Fort Bragg officials are asking the community to send letters of encouragement for Rock as he’s in the hospital.

His condition is not being made public, but Fort Bragg officials said he does not have COVID-19.

Letters can be sent to the below address:

XVIII Airborne Corps PAO

2175 Reilly Road, Stop A

Fort Bragg, NC 28310

Having recently spent 4.5 months in the hospital with our daughter struggling through a very rough start in life, including hart surgery, this bought tears to my eyes.

No kids should have to spend time in a hospital. No kids should have to battle cancer or any other terminal illness. I have the outmost respect and admiration for all who struggle and all who help, in what ever way.

Dolphins are the rapist of the sea. You never hear good shit about them from anyone who's really around them
