Colleagues,
This is my 2nd post and hoping some of you with expertise in Bulgarian P08's, can help me with some answers. I am looking at a 'deactivated' Bulgarian contract P08 Luger, but there are a few items on it which I am not sure about. First thing I note is the lack of the lanyard loop on the lower back strap. Could it be that the frame is not an original Bulgarian contract frame but has been replaced? I believe the magazine is the wrong model for this Luger, not wooden base. There are no markings on the bottom of the luger, any ideas which time period this is from? Reviewing the Standard Catalogue of Luger, (SCL), downloaded from Amazon, I note the Lion and the crown stamp on the toggle are not the same as the example given on the 'SCL'. I found another deactivated Bulgarian P08 luger, with the same crest as the one in the one I am looking, but it is worn away more, that Luger obviously had heavy use in the past. Was there different versions of the royal crest used when the 1910 Bulgarian contract was being produced? Another search resulted in finding photos of a Deactivated Bulgarian Contract 1906 model on the internet and note that the royal crest is different on that model. Thank you in advance for any assistance in answering these questions. Stay safe Richard |
