EXCEPTIONALLY RARE GEORG LUGER MODEL 1892/6 RIFLE BARRELED ACTION.

SN 356. Cal. 7.92mm. Perhaps a once in a lifetime opportunity to obtain an incomplete example of the rare “System Luger” 1892/6 sporting rifle. Short sporter style barreled action is marked on top receiver “Deutsche Waffen- Und Munitions Fabriken Berlin”, and on left with the weapon’s serial number and SYSTEM “LUGER”. Georg Luger’s personal “GL” monograms appear on the receiver and many small parts to identify Luger’s patented features. The system incorporates several Luger patented ideas & novel features to include a flip down magazine door for ammunition clip release, unique bolt release, double set triggers & checkered spoon bolt handle. This gun and its related patents are featured on pp. 40, 1646-7 and 1723-5 of The Borchardt & Luger Automatic Pistols by Joachim Gortz & Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess. PROVENANCE: Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess Collection. CONDITION: Poor with severe pitting at bbl, under receiver & magazine assembly. Bore is also poor, showing frosting & pitting, but should clean up. Action is mechanically functional & complete and comes with several small pieces from the orig stock. A near unique candidate worthy of new furniture and restoration. 4-53097 DW26 (7,500-25,000) – Lot 3219
