French Luger???

Eric,
I am not sure if I am interpreting your question correctly. To the best of my knowledge, only the 1903 French transitional Luger and one solitary example of a 1906 Commercial Luger with a fleur-de-lis chamber marking have the CHARGÃ?? marked extractors. I believe that the 1906 model Lugers with the 'Manufacture Francais d'Armes & Cycles de Saint-Etienne' barrel marking were standard Commercial models with a GELADEN marked extractor. The barrel markings were applied in France by the importer/distributer and not at the factory.
