Description:

Approximately 1,500 of these Model 1906 Luger pistols were ordered by Bulgaria in 1908 in their own serial number range of 1-1500. These Lugers are rarely seen today as they saw heavy use throughout both World Wars, with many captured by the Soviets and never resurfacing. Most of these were refinished, reworked, and/or re-chambered to 9 mm during their service lives. This model has the Bulgarian Crest marked chamber area with the DWM monogram on the front toggle, with Cyrillic safety and extractor markings. The full serial number is located on the front of the receiver and the underside of the barrel with the partial serial number "76" stamped on most of the various other parts, with the left grip panel numbered "3", the firing pin numbered "50", and the magazines, sideplate, trigger, and extractor unnumbered. It is fitted with a "barleycorn" style blade front and notch rear sights, checkered walnut grips, and a correct pattern, unmarked, nickeled magazine with a wood base. With a brown leather flap holster and an extra nickel magazine with a plastic base.

Rating Definition:

Fine, with 75% plus arsenal refurbished blue finish, showing bright wear on the high edges, the start of a brown patina on the gripstraps and grip safety, and scattered spotting and handling marks. The grips are also fine, with some dents and flat spots, and the holster is fair with some tearing and cracking. The hold-open and sear disconnector hang up a bit, otherwise mechanically functions.
