136C, all matching except mag, not scrubbed, original finish, all proper markings. Not the best at photos.

Cool example! Wow, the wear on those grips is amazing. That pistol was definitely in service and carried.

Yes used, but appears to not be abused. I usually try to have the grips refreshed a little, but I think I will leave this one as found, it's honest wear on a pistol that was probably in service a long time.

Thanks for the picture. The serial # is unusual for me, the letter C. I have never seen that before, was this typical for Bulgarian pistols?

Second half of 5000 pistols of an order of 10,000 total in I believe 1908 was coded with a capital C. First 5000 had just numbers, no C.

Yes, definitely don’t do anything to the grips. What a fantastic looking Bulgarian! Nice honest wear and like you said not abused. That Luger would be a gem in anyone’s collection.
