Hello Johnny,

Supposingly, there was an error in the recording of the serial number of the Diaz carbine - it is in the 55000C serial range and this information was given to me by Mr. Kenyon. I made an error in my previous post showing it in the 55000B serial range - sorry. It is highly unlikely that the Diaz carbine can be serial number 55C because there are no other cased carbines recorded with a two-digit serial number followed by a suffix that are hallmarked with a 'GL'. To support my investigation regarding the serial number of the Diaz carbine, there are known a few presentation Lugers that fall in the 55000 with the suffix 'B' or 'C'.

Furthermore, I feel that more accurate information and research is required, especially the serial numbers, to determine the exact quantity recorded and characteristics of each 7-Shot Prototype. I regret that I did note the exact characteristics of the 7-Shot Prototype in the 55000B serial range. All I can remember is that it had an American eagle on the chamber; it was 'GL' hallmarked; and it may have dished toggles but I am not sure. If I were to make any assumptions based on consistencies or patterns, then the Bulgarian 7-Shot should be in the same serial range as the one with the American eagle which I examined. I also noticed that the barrel of the Bulgarain 7-Shot is thinner than the one which was for Georg Luger.

I shall try to get more information about these 7-Shot pistols and post it under this topic.
