M1906 Russian Luger - The Ending of its Identity

Your assumption that I agree with you on anything you assert is premature and should wait until I have appropriately responded to the entire premise (which may take a couple of days, I am old and slow

). Hang in there...I will respond, but not in a piecemeal fashion to repeated snippets of shooting from the hip. You are mounting a crusade and I do not choose to duke it out on momentary minutiae.

Do you have anymore information?

A picture of that " 54th His Majesty the Tsar of Bulgaria's Minsk Infantry Regiment" with some luger holsters on some men would be helpful.

Many have researched the Russian lugers, some tiny bits have surfaced from the guns themselves but never enough to put the debate to an end.

As good as your theory is ( and it is a good one) I think your going to need just a little more to satisfy the critics.

You have tied known history,opportunity and production time frames together, but as good as it is, its just not quite enough .
When I put it all in front of me, I like what I see, I just can not get all the puzzle together.

For example, using your new information, and twisting it around just a little I could make a case for this being a Russian Luger being ordered because there where Bulgarians also present.

You see, we have not broken the Russian link, so the Russian Luger hangs on.

I think that is what is bothering people.

If you have anything else please bring it out.

thanks

Vern
