I thought it might be a real gem...Until I saw the chamber... :rolleyes:

It's a crying shame... :crying:

Is there any new information as to where these came from?

Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly do you mean when you say "until I saw the chamber"
Is that bad? Good? Is it a phony?

Richard, I can't seem to pull it up~ Is it me? Eric

You'll need Sherman and Mr Peabody for help with this one... :rolleyes:

It's probably been sold...Perhaps Albert bought it for his collection... :)

If you check/Search the threads on Still's Forum you'll see an assortment of crossed rifles chamber markings...Some good, some bad...

Jones, Walter, and Datig all mention this variation...Jones & Walter have pictures... :thumbup:

BTW: The deletion of pictures, changing of URLs, updated site formats, etc are exactly why it is requested that posters attach pictures rather than link them... ;)

I did find this gem if you don't mind~ http://www.landofborchardt.com/other.html

Eric, I believe this is the one I had linked originally...

There's a couple Russian Lugers in their 'Archived Lugers' section...

HomeRun!! ~~Bases Loaded!!!

Thanks for the clarification sheep...

Justin, IMHO, the crossed rifles on this one are at the low end of quality engraving/stamping...There are much better ones...Serial # 747 is a pretty nice one...And may even be authentic... :)

Mosin Negant Rifles. One of my favorite was 'Enemy At The Gate' regarding a Russian sniper who is tracked my a German Officer~ Definitly one of my all time best sniper movies~~Its on youtube!!
