Von Lengerke & Detmold

[rick983]

This company was a Mauser representative from the 1890s' until 1928 when they were absorbed by Abercrombie & Fitch. They sold Lugers and Mauser C96 pistols. I just purchased one that was made in 1905 and I would love to know who bought it. My question is, has anybody heard of their sales books being saved after the merger? If they existed, they would be a treasure trove of information. Has anybody ever heard of someone who now has them and is willing to pass along the info to collectors. Thanks.
