New Data Reguarding Our Hero and his inventions

Ron, I think the current salient point of Albert's is that he claims that the safe and extractor markings on the 1906 crossed rifle luger are in Bulgarian. During your recent absence, Giuliano, a Forum member in Italy, presented information that he had Bulgarian/Russian language experts with linguistic degrees express confidently that the markings were Bulgarian and couldn't possibly be Russian, even in the period of 1906, before the "modernization" of the Russian written language after 1917. Thus, if we are to believe such language experts, then the point of the extractor being Russian is moot. The revelations of the information presented above, however, re-opens the element of doubt that DWM (in Georg Luger's letter) was in fact manufacturing lugers for the Russian officer corps.
