Russian Luger

George, can you take a picture of the top markings.... please? I believe the Russian has crossed rifles.

As a matter of interest, in 1958 or 1959, when Soviet Premier Kruschev visited the US, a mid-West farmer gave Kruschev a wrist watch to replace one that was on the fritz. Asked what he wanted in return, the farmer mentioned that a Russian Contract Luger would be nice. Some months later he received a completely refurbished Russian Contract Luger from Kruschev. I recall seeing pictures of it in the American Rifleman, IIRC.
