Bulgarian Luger?

Steve, I do still have a few nice sets of Original M1908 Bulgarian grips available in the $50 to $75 range. Also a WAG why the Bulgarian marking may have all been milled out and "made in Germany" added: In the immediate post WW2 era, Bulgaria, a former axis nation, was part of the Soviet bloc and probably not allowed to export to the US, or at best subject to some high import duties. I once purchased some letter dies from Canada and rather than the normal 11% duty, was charged 49% since they were made in Czechoslavia.
