To relate the tale from the beginning we must go back to a well known arms designer of his day, Hugo Borchardt, a naturalized American citizen. To make the statement that it is the world's finest, most accurate, well designed or generally the “best” pistol would merely be expressing an opinion, but what are the reasons for its popularity? Why has the Luger pistol been accepted as the “best” and what is the story behind its phenomenal success? There is no country however small or insignificant in which that name, or its foreign counterpart, Parabellum, is unfamiliar. But how did it achieve this revered position and does it deserve it?įor generations, the most famous name in pistols has been Luger. Handgun Caliber: 9x19mm Parabellum (9mm Luger, 9x19mm NATO)Often called the greatest pistol ever made, the Luger has reached legendary status. Follow the link below to watch our Youtube video where this gun is featured! ://youtu.be/g0AWmW8V2m8 This holster is also featured in Whittington's Book on page 281. There is also a WW2-era Navy "Eagle M" marking on the holster. It is a 1941-dated Nazi-proofed P.38 holster that was modified to receive an artillery luger (gun fits well). The gun comes as a rig with a very unique holster. Minor wear on the side plate, on the side rails, and around the muzzle. The gun has retained about 97% of its finish. It comes with a Navy-marked Luger tool, one mismatched Navy marked magazine, and a spare generic military magazine.
At the arsenal, it received a Navy property marking on the back strap and was issued to the German Navy. As evidenced by the "1920" government property marking on the receiver, the gun was reworked and remained in government service after WW1.
The gun is all matching and has the proper Imperial proofs. This artillery luger was initially issued to the Imperial German military in 1917. This is an excellent example of a very interesting DWM Luger rig.
