Designed as a lightweight and agile sporting arm for taking light game, the heart of the Luger Carbine is an enlarged Luger pistol, with a steel hanger integrated into the front of the frame to serve as a mount for a spring accelerator equipped forearm, which in turn helps properly cycle the extended barrel, and a 1908-style stock lug on the back strap. Fitted with ramped polished bead front sight and 4-position sliding notch rear sight on the barrel. The blank chamber is proofed "crown/N" on the left side, with a "GELADEN" marked extractor on the round-top bolt, "DWM" marked front toggle, and knurled toggles. The left side of the frame is marked "MADE IN GERMANY". The underside of the barrel and receiver are numbered "10", with "98" on the trigger, "20" on the rear toggle link, and "1./4014" on the magazine base and the other components unnumbered. The furniture is checkered, with a schnabel-tipped forearm and a hardwood buttstock with a checkered steel widow's peak buttplate.

Fine as assembled (see above), with 75% of the blue finish, showing areas of brown and gray patina, a small amount of pitting, and scattered handling and cycling marks. The wood shows some light dents and scuffs, with filler material present around the mounting iron on the refinished buttstock. Mechanically fine.
