Description

This is the Only info I was able to get via Gun Wiki.

"The Luger self-loading rifle is a prototype German self-loading rifle."


"A patent for the weapon was filed by Georg Luger of Luger P08 fame on February 19, 1906, in England, as opposed to Germany; this is most likely due to the rifle being intended for export in addition to being adopted by the Kaiserreichsheer.

Unfortunately for Luger, the rifle failed to enter mass production or adoption of any kind, most likely due to a combination of being expensive to manufacture and arming militaries with a semi-automatic rifle of the time being practically unheard of. The idea of a toggle-locked service rifle would be explored again with the introduction of the Pedersen rifle.

At least one of these rifles is known to survive today; serial number 4."

Thanks alot for the Support lately!
