1906 Navy Question

Norman,


Would just like to correct my mention of Bulgarian and Russian Lugers being identical.


The cyrillic safety marking inscription in itself is identical on all makes:

1906 Russian

1900/1906/1908 Bulgarian

but the positionning differs on the 1908 Bulgarian on which it is stamped in the lower position.

It appears that only the 1906 Russian and Bulgarian have identical frames (short; no stock lug) and markings. It is presumed that the Russian 1906's were made using frames fr

om the Bulgarian contract, but without proofing.


Best regards,


Alain
