Any idea of the caliber of each of these? (EOM)

Re: Any idea of the caliber of each of these?
I "believe" the carbine was 8mm as it was being developed during the war.... It was a prototype sn4 and it sold at Butterfield in the 6 figures....

Re: Any idea of the caliber of each of these?
 had not been a success and most military authorities in Germany and Switzerland thought that the future lay in developing the toggle action. Luger�´s toggle action rifle was considered too dangerous as the toggle opened too close to the soldier�´s face.The machine pistol was 9mm and the rifle took the standard S- cartridge ((8x57 mm).

<div><strong>Patrick thanks, I) There was a similar, toggle action carbine prototype, that was made by the springfield armory around the same time. The toggle was much more compact with flat ears, and I assume similar internals... I wonder how well they worked?
Thanks for the picture, Patrick, as I said I often wondered at the internals... FGR |
Can we post these these pictures???
I think these would be fun to put on the site. I will gladly give copyright credit to the original photo holder... please advise.

Here is the info for the book they came from
![:)](http://boards.rennlist.com/luger/p</strong><br /> </div>
<div>Parabellum: A Technical History of Swiss Lugers by Vittorio Bobba<br />
<br />
<br />
This book is out of print. There is one on eBay right now, just do a search for "swiss lugers" and you will see it. Current bid is $95.00<br />
<br />
<br />
Apparently published by Priuli & Verlucca; ASIN: 8880680528 according to Amazon.com<br />
<br />
<br />
I wish it were mine. Maybe one you rich board of governors guys can buy it so the forum can at least have access to the photos!<br />

<div>Dok - the pictures came from old German magazines, so I would think that they�´re yours if you want them. The Luger carbine drawings are from Georg Luger�´s personal documents - and I�´m sure he wouldn�´t mind. Patrick<br />

Re: I'm sure he would be pleased actually!
 DOK, The luger carbine prototype was posted by Butterfield's auction site in 1999. I have no idea if they would be upset, however the auction is so old that it is no longer listed on the site... FGR

Is an excellent book...
The photo's are outstanding - as well as documenting some facts that he challanges Kenyon about. The photos are well worth the price for the book alone, IMHO...
Oh yea - I bought my copy (new) some time ago from Ray Rilings in PA (highly recommended!). Don't know if they have additional copies still??? |
