Fleur de Lys marked lugers

[drbuster]

This was the second appearance of this incredible old cased set of two Fleur de Lys chamber marked lugers, one a four digit 1900, the other an '02 carbine. The case is as old as the lugers and appeared to have been a custom creation for some early French sportsman of means at the time. Note the deep roll died chamber markings and the different font size of the barrel markings of the two guns. Also note the custom made shoulder stock machined to fit the carbine. These were both examined by Robert Simpson (SimpsonLTD) and Charles Whittaker (Land of Borchardt) at the recent Reno show. Both could not recall seeing such ususual lugers before, both of them referencing the 1906 Fleur de Lys marked commercial luger pictured on pages 114-115 of Luger: The Multinational Pistol. Truly a one of a kind cased set with provenence back to the early part of the last century.
