Tough early manual to find. Goes well with a 1902 Fat Barrel! The ad isn't quite correct, the first English Language manual was indeed the first ever Luger manual. It seems odd that it would have been published in English since it probably was printed in late 1900-early 1901...you would think it would have been in German since it still refers to the "Borchardt-Luger's System".

Ron, why wouldn't this have been for the 1900AE??? Being in English would seem to make perfect sense...Since the AE was targeted at American market...
