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. "DWM" in script on toggle link. Toggle action with the early type dished toggles and toggle lock. Early style breech block and flat main spring. Correct nickel plated, seven round magazine with blank wood bottom. CONDITION: The gun retains approximately 90% of the original factory rust blue finish and 50% straw color. Barrel and grip straps are thinning. It does have some light freckling on the toggle and side plate. Front and rear stocks show your typical dings and handling marks and have factory 3/4" sling swivels. Gun is all matching but the rear stock. The stock is a nice original that is numbered 07. Bright and shiny bore with sharp lands and grooves. A very desirable and collectible gun.
