Anatomy Of A 1920 Luger Carbine

[cirelaw]

The only thing that I question is the lack of "GERMANY" Was it geered to domestic use? There also remain the "31' on the stock lug. It was pointed out that a mere 2 digit imprint was incorrect. Merci!

Eric,

Good points. I am less concerned about the lack of "Germany" as these guns were made for many markets that did not require a statement of origin. But you are correct in that most guns shipped to the USA would have had Made in Germany or Germany stamped on them.

But..as I wrote, the serial number and the numbering is a puzzle.

Ask myself whats behind the carbine plastic butt plate and to me surprise was 2 ten inch holes which immediatly reminded me of those High Times magazine that only my room mate would subscribe. I guess it would be to make the stock lighhter which makes no sence what so ever. Where there simular holes on the earlier 1902 model?? The orchids are for You!

The holes in your stock were there to help your stock dry out
faster.What I want to know is why your rear togell has a
sight on it? And is there a number on it,would like to see a
picture of it. Would also like to know who you bought this
gun from?
Thanks George
P.S. Yes there were simular holes on the earlier 1902 carbine model.

Interesting...Is that one of Eugene Golubtsov's early conversions??? It looks pretty good...
