Alain,

you are correct. But in John Walters book "The Luger Book" page 239, he mentioned that 'there was no difference at all between Russian and Bulgarian until the former was modernized in the 1920's. Thus when the Parabellums were supplied, the marks on Russian and Bulgarian guns would have been identical.'.

I was surprised by all of this. I have a friend from Germany who I tried to get to interpret some 1940 German geneology papers for me and she could not do it because she said that it was "old" German. I also have friends in Norway who are complaining because Norway is changing their language and money to a "new" Norwegian. I know that this is off track. But how does a country suddenly change its language?

I am sorry that I took this discussion off track. If anybody wants to they can maybe Email me an answer if one is possible.
