1900 Bulgarian Lugers

Tom - I recall seeing pictures of one M1900 like that, I believe it was auctioned off a few years ago. I will have to see if I can dig it up and identify it, thanks for the reminder.

If you have details on any others, I would greatly appreciate knowing about them as well.

Hello Mark,

You recently sent a PM questioning the frame serial number on my Md 1908 Bulgarian Luger. The following is my original PM to you.

"The two (2) worst guns in my collection are 1908 Bulgarian Lugers. One is a "sanitized" variation that I bought as a shooter years ago, with the frame and receiver serial number 103. The other 1908 Bulgarian has been arsenal reworked with all the original markings plus more markings still in place, the frame serial number is 5284 with the receiver numbered 4347."

The frame on my 1908 is serial number is 5284 with the Cyrillic fire mark in place. However on closer examination the frame serial number 4 appears to be a different fount than the other numbers. Additionally the 5 may also be different fount than the 28.

Another mystery regarding arsenal reworked Lugers.
