model 1900 'Chilean trials' sn 10010 found
Hello, I am pretty new here but have been collecting for a few years now. I found this on GB last year listed simply 'early 1900 Luger' and was shocked when nobody bid against me and I won it. As I was reading about these early stocked Lugers in vol. 1 of the Pistole Parabellum set, I was thrilled to discover this very gun described and pictured on pgs. 197-198! I found a correct push-button stock for it earlier this year that miraculously fits it rather well.
I am very interested in these early Lugers and have been examining every one I come across that has the same or similar features. So far I have notes on 20 other similar guns incl. several fakes.
There is a post here from 2007 titled 10010b that shows a model 1900 with all the same features and the same sn-10010, but with a 'B' under the sn on the frame. Does anyone know where that Luger is now? I welcome any and all comments and insights on my pistol and these early Lugers in general. Thanks!
