I would prefer an original Russian contract Luger, but I think this is an excellent copy...

Hi Albert! Hope you are doing well. Guess you are right, some people never learn. Why would the Bulgarians order a Luger with an obscure chamber marking when they already had both 1900 and 1906 model Lugers with a nice Bulgarian crest? Doesn't make much sense to me, but then I don't know why the Russians chose crossed rifles either.
P.S. If we are going to start up this old friendly discussion again, let's start a new thread and not hjack this one.

Michael,
I suspect there are a number of polyglots that frequent this forum, but I also surmise that few can claim Chaucerian English and Russian! P.S. Once again, we are ranging rather far afield from the original intent of this thread. I am no less guilty of this diversion than others, so I apologize.

Well sometimes
This posting would have been better in the general area than the for sale, since the For Sale area REQUIRES prices. Yes, auction links are allowed, but not prefered.... Ed
