Do 1920 Carbines Truly Exist
 
1 Attachment(s)
I bought mine from Gramps year ago. Ive never seen another. It Lacks any import markings. There was some guy piecing them together. Somewhere inside there a serial number and it is 9mm. Theres none on P.I.A. Imagine that!! There has to be more out there! Jerry did a fabulous job on the leather!

Perhaps I am missing something here...We all know that Lugerman makes them to order...Presumably, he would make one from any model you wanted...

I'm aware of copies. I'm only interested in legit original. There seem to be far more of the earlier models

There were far more earlier models. The 1902 Carbine was a standard, if somewhat limited, production gun with an estimated 2500 pieces produced. The 1920 Commercials were special order items and were not produced in large numbers. Dwight Gruber has recorded only about 30 examples and most of them are two digit serial numbers. The 1920 guns were assembled as needed and there is considerable variation in existing examples.

Thank You Ron, that makes sence!!! I'm not aware of any original 9mm 1020 available anywhere.
