1902 Carbine

Anna,

You continue to come up with the most interesting Lugers.

1902 Carbines are found in the serial ranges 21157-22000 and 23460-24872--approximately, and with other guns intermixed. Your carbine is from a very small run, less than 200 examples and perhaps no more than 100, found at the beginning of the 50000 serial range--yours may, in fact, be the first one in that series. This series was made in 1909.

Is this gun stamped GERMANY anywhere?
