1908 Bulgarian

[deepdarkwoodsman]

Hi guys:

I have attached some photos of my 1908 Bulgarian. This gun appears to have been through hell and back. I am sure it has action in multiple wars, and has been refinished at least once. There is no remaining straw and the DWM on the chamber was removed at some point. The grips are mismatched replacements, but otherwise all parts are matching except the magazine. The lanyard on the previous gun seems to be welded to the frame whereas mine swivels. I don't see the proof mark that was previously inquired about, but it may have been removed during a re-work.

I found this gun in West Virginia while my father was undergoing bypass surgery. I had some pretty tense hours of time to kill, so I purchased a free-ad publication in the hospital gift shop. This gun was advertised and I bought it. I consider it my dad's good luck charm. Even thought the gun is rough, I figured it may be a while before I come across another one in any condition.

Thanks for looking.

Doug
