M1906 Russian Luger - The Ending of its Identity

Imperial Arms · 11-13-2009, 03:18 PM

Hello Ed,

Sorry I made a slight mistake in my previous explanation. Maybe the word 'approved' was the wrong word, instead I prefer to say that the US government 'informally adopted' or 'had no objection to maintaining the AE design from DWM' in view of the fact that the emblem is exactly the same on both the US Test Lugers and those sold to the American civilian market.

In the same way that we may encounter M1906 AE Lugers with three different types of safety markings, it demonstrates that commercial pistols do not always have to be follow a certain pattern, therefore, it is acceptable to encounter commercial AE Lugers without and without the 'Germany' export marking.

Cheers,
Albert
