I don't think I actually ever knew a name, but I have seen one of the

Greg, I had replied privately to Frank, but wasn't it Leni Reifenstahl? '36

 And whether it was or not, check out the archives for the LUGgers views on

here's my guess;

Designed for German Sports Photogs
Mounted on Contax II (Rangefinder coupled)
1936 Olympics
Jesse Owens beat the hell out of who ever that German sprinter was

What was it Abraham Lincoln said?- "You can fool some of the LUGgers all of
the time, and all of the LUGgers some of the time, but you can';t fool all
the LUGgers All the time!"

Speaking of funny moustaches,
