Question about Russian Lugers

LugerVern · 09-07-2006, 02:05 AM

Below is a picture of some Russian Mosin Nagant rifles; roll dies are known for their detail and this is where I am having problems; the detail is simply not there on the chamber markings I have seen.

Please note the arrangement of the top hand guard and the sling arrangements then compare to any of the Russian Lugers finding there way onto the market. There are some discrepancies.

Are these guns legitimate? Maybe, some look not to have been messed with.
Did DWM apply the chamber markings? I have serious doubts.

I know this is pretty hard criticism from a new collector; I am just trying to understand.
