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 that never resurfaced. Most of these were refinished, reworked, and/or rechambered 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 grips unnumbered. It is fitted with blade and notch sights, checkered walnut grips, and a correct pattern, unmarked, nickeled magazine with a walnut base. Per the consignor this pistol was restored by Gale Morgan.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as professionally restored, retaining 99% blue finish and 85% straw colors. The professionally made replacement grips are also very fine with a few small minor chipped diamond sections and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
