Attn French collectors. Need help.

Vlim · 01-17-2020, 07:34 AM

Hi guys,

I need some help in settling an inheritance.
A fellow collector left behind a Luger with the remark that it belongs to a Mr. Alain Capel.

But we have no contact info. We think he may be French or Belgian. The phrase (Fr.) was written behind his name.

So if you are, or know, Mr. Capel, please contact me.

Thanks for any support, the heirs want to close this chapter so they will appreciate any help you can provide.

Update: he could be a Paris resident.

Subject: 1900 Russian article
Dear Sir,

First, I would like to congratulate you on the superb quality of
your website and the research found here.
I collect Lugers and try to read every source on these rare guns.
I am particularly interested in the Russian and Bulgarian models as
well as Persian, prototypes and other exotic contracts or specimens.

If I do remember well, I found some time ago on your website a
fascinating article on the 1900 Russian Luger model.
I have looked and not found it here anymore... was it a confusion ..?

Best regards,
Alain
Paris France

Editor comment: The 1900 Russian Luger article is still on the site in the “Other Lugers” directory.
