Carbine Hunt

Eric,

Back to the issue of the numbering of 1920's carbines in 9mm variety :

In C. Kenyon's 2nd. book (L-TMNP) on page 48 he describes and displays a photo of a 9 mm stocked carbine (also minty...) with the reported serial number of # 72302.

This one Kenyon calls a "1914" commerical carbine as the proofing and serial number places it in the 1914 time period. Photo caption "A" states it is in 9 mm.

Another possiblity is that this carbine was a product of a very, very good, skilled mechanic in Waffenfabrik-USA and was so good it even fooled this luger expert and author.
