Default 1906 Bulgarian contract census

One of these guns sold over the weekend for $3,000 at the Rock Island Auction. With 1,300 to 1,500 originally made, these are even scarcer than the 1908 Bulgarian. Many were rebarreled to 9mm, so the 7.65s are especially rare.

A list of all that can be found is being maintained at http://luger.gunboards.com/showthrea...lgarian-Census. If you have info on another example, please feel free to post it here and I will add it to the list.

The current list of 13 guns is posted below:
