Re: Any idea of the caliber of each of these?
I "believe" the carbine was 8mm as it was being developed during the war.... It was a prototype sn4 and it sold at Butterfield in the 6 figures....

Re: Any idea of the caliber of each of these?
There was a similar, toggle action carbine prototype, that was made by the springfield armory around the same time. The toggle was much more compact with flat ears, and I assume similar internals... I wonder how well they worked?
Thanks for the picture, Patrick, as I said I often wondered at the internals... FGR |

Dok - the pictures came from old German magazines, so I would think that they�´re yours if you want them. The Luger carbine drawings are from Georg Luger�´s personal documents - and I�´m sure he wouldn�´t mind. Patrick

DOK, The luger carbine prototype was posted by Butterfield's auction site in 1999. I have no idea if they would be upset, however the auction is so old that it is no longer listed on the site... FGR

Is an excellent book...
The photo's are outstanding - as well as documenting some facts that he challanges Kenyon about. The photos are well worth the price for the book alone, IMHO...
Oh yea - I bought my copy (new) some time ago from Ray Rilings in PA (highly recommended!). Don't know if they have additional copies still??? |
