M1906 Russian Luger - The Ending of its Identity

While everyone of us has our own way of thinking and drawing our own conclusions, one of the reasons for writing this detailed article is to make us seriously consider other avenues of thinking besides what has been stated in various books and articles from the past. If collectors wish to keep the title of the 'Russian Luger' to satisfy their ego, so it shall be.

While LOB was researching and writing his article on the 'Russian Lugers', I am very surprised that LOB was unable to piece together the puzzle of the 'M1906 Russian Luger' when he already owns a Bulgarian instruction manual from 1911 which has the heading "Rules for the Training and Operation of the Infantry - Part 1 - Description and Observation of the Specification of the Weapon: The Automatic Pistol Parabellum". The word 'Infantry' should have given him the clue to the meaning of the crossed rifles. Instead, he vomits all this various nonsense including the matching to Mosin-Nagant rifles!
