1908 Bulgarian

This is a good condition Bulgarian compared to how these guns usually look, I have heard.
It is a bit rougher than I like to see, but its authenticity and originality make it an interesting one.

Safety mark is in Cyrillic, and reads "Fire", extractor also in Cyrillic. It has a moveable lanyard loop at the bottom of the rear grip strap, unlike the usual one found at the top.

DWM is over the chamber, and the Bulgarian heraldic lion in shield is on the toggle.
Also has a smaller lion rampant on the right side receiver.

Grips are fair, but show a lot of wear, with a few small chips at the bottom and some dings.

Gun is numbered commercial style, wood bottom mag with matching number to gun.

Bore shows some frosting, but lands and grooves still sharply visible.

No import marks, of course.

Overall, the exterior of the gun shows a lot more wear than the inside, although it certainly had been fired many times.
I suspect a lot of carrying in the Bulgarian holsters was rough on the outside of these guns.
