This is a pic of my uncle in Holland. I have always wondered 2 things about this pic. First, what bike is this. Second, is that a Luger holster he is wearing. He did bring back a Luger which my aunt made him get rid of when they had kids. He was a dispatch rider at this time. Only time he was hurt was when he ran into another vehicle at night and split his head open. Thanks.

Norton 16 H I think. A better scan of the image would help. -

One last question. All the equipment in the pics have the # 45. Looked thru all I can find for RCA markings. 45 is oddly missing. 42, 43,44, then 46. Who were 45? Thanks.Comment
