The 1902 Luger Carbine was manufactured by Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken Co. for commercial sales in Germany and abroad. Designed as a sporting weapon with a detachable buttstock. It was favored by Kaiser Wilhelm. The front contoured stock has an actuator in it that works with a lug on the bottom of the barrel to help bring the action back into battery. These guns took a cartridge with a greater powder charge to function the heavier barrel assembly. Front and rear stocks as well as the grips were finely checkered. Features include round barrel with ramp front sight, three position rear sight at rear of barrel, toggle action with the early type dished toggles and toggle lock, early style breach block and flat main spring, and nickel seven round magazine with blank wood bottom. The grips have been replaced with modern reproductions. The gun has been re-blued at some point in its life. Fair bore that shows some frosting. The rear stock has a rare one screw iron. It has been re-finished.
