Description:

This is a very high quality presentation style 1902 Luger manufactured by master gun maker Raymond E. Hutchens of Indiana, as an exact recreation of the Model 1902 Luger Carbine, with beautiful Madagascar ebony hardwood fittings including the detachable shoulder stock. Raymond Hutchens is more well known for his legendary functional 1/2 scale miniature guns, with this Luger Carbine offered being a full size functional example. The original Luger Carbines were intended as a substitute for the light hunting rifles then available on the market, being highly compact when disassembled and light and easy to maneuver when together. Fancy gold inlaid "REH" monogram located on top of the front toggle, with a beaded blade front sight, 300 meter sliding notch rear sight, and chambered in 7.65 mm Luger Auto (30 Luger). The matching visible serial number "1" is located on various components including the base of both included magazines and the iron section of the shoulder stock. It is accompanied by a Madagascar ebony hardwood presentation quality case with rectangular plaques both on top of the lid and inside the case bearing gold inlaid "MADE BY/R.E.HUTCHENS" above a gold inlaid "REH" monogram, with green felt lined fitted interior, and an outer leather case cover. Also includes a leather carrying case with red felt lined fitted interior, and extra matching numbered magazine.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, retains 99% original blue and straw finishes, and all of the gold inlay on the toggle. Furniture is also excellent with minimal handling evidence and sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent. Stock is also excellent. Cases are also excellent. A very high quality cased presentation style Luger Carbine by the master gun maker Raymond E. Hutchens that would make a fine addition to any Luger collection.
