It would appear that the gun in question started out life as a 1908 Bulgarian, but as Dwight observed, the serial number is way out of line. The max serial number would be 5000 for the first contract and 5000C for the second. It is either an unknown variation or a nicely reworked/renumbered 1908 Bulgarian military. I would bet on the latter.
