French Luger???

Hi,

I recently purchased a 1907-1908 Manufacture Francaise sales brochure with about 600 pages of firearms, ammunition and accessories. It seems MF was big enough to order 'brand labeled' firearms from just about any supplier, including DWM.

Fascinatingly the 1907-1908 brochure does NOT list the Parabellum, nor the standard Parabellum rounds (9mm and .30 luger). They do appear in the 1910 MF catalog, so introduction was somewhere between 1908 and 1910.
