The other pistol, Serial No. 1, was used in the 1908 pistol test in which it was tested along-side the Colt M1905 Pistol.

This .45 Luger Pistol remains the last of its kind to this day. | I have found a picture of the famous Luger Pistol chambered in .45 ACP from 1908.

Do you want to take down the picture of the black luger since we know have MPM2008's images on the page?--Alienqueen11 02:32, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
- Sure. That should be policy. -MT2008 04:05, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
I can think of another movie with the Luger, that is The Land That Time Forgot. Also the Bergman MP-18 is in that movie (anachronistic because the movie is set in 1916 while the U.S. is still "neutral") as well as Mauser 98 rifles and a Webley revolver.

.45 Luger Pistol
I have found a picture of the famous Luger Pistol chambered in .45 ACP from 1908. It is the only known .45 Luger to still exist today. The other pistol, Serial No. 1, was used in the 1908 pistol test in which it was tested along-side the Colt M1905 Pistol. The original was thrown away after the tests and the other remaning Lugers were either lost or destroyed. This .45 Luger Pistol remains the last of its kind to this day. - Kilgore
