1902 Carbine Info
Hi Kwmpa
I will be glad to help you with what I know about 1902 Carbines as I have studied them quite a bit and have one that is very nice and all original.You will have to call me as my spelling is not that and my typing is even worst. My name is George Fortier and my phone number is 1-(510)-523-6682 Thank you George |

What's funny is I actually spent $1600 on books have been reading for months and I'm still trying to piece everything together about carbines....then when I ask what to look for when buying I get jumped on because I wasn't specific enough...makes me not want to be a part of the Luger community...I'm not looking for info handed on a silver platter but I know there's several experts on here that can give me a list of very specific things to look for but it's like that info doesn't want to get shared which is what I thought a forum is for...sharing information for the greater good

If I had paid for the books to be published, I'd make a lot more money, but I would have had to come up with about $50,000 for 2100 books. No way I could afford it. So, the publisher takes the chance, makes more money and I pocket 5% (thats $3.50 if the book sells at full value); so I make around $200 a year on the books. The Bring Back Books are fun Harry, but jeez, i am glad that you specifically brought them up as an example of books you think are stupid. Ed |

You asked what to look out for. All Michael and myself were asking for is that if you have a specific question, that is much easier to answer. And NO, this is not a very well researched variation by very many members (very few collectors of these anyway) Ed |
