LugerForum Discussion Forums - View Single Post - New member trying to figure out date of manufacture on my P08

kapnkd · 04-30-2011, 09:41 PM

I'm just now doing a little research on "Bulgarian"Lugers and came across this quote on the NRA's history/info site:

"In addition to German military and commercial production, P08s were produced for Bulgaria, Russia, Turkey, Persia, Venezuela, Abyssinia, Roumania, and Switzerland prior to the outbreak of war in 1914."

My question is - Does this mean Bulagria only purchased P08 Lugers from 1908 (first productions thru the start of WWI?? If so, this really helps narrow down the date of my Luger.

Sorry to be so naive (dumb) on Lugers but do you have any thoughts/knowledge you can share???
