Origins:

• The Luger pistol, officially known as the Pistole Parabellum, was designed by Georg Luger and manufactured by Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken (DWM).
• The Artillery Model, also known as the Lange Pistole 08 (LP.08), was developed in 1914 at the start of World War I to give German artillery crews, stormtroopers, and later aviators a more effective long-range sidearm.

World War I:

• The LP.08 was issued primarily during WWI to specialized troops.
• Equipped with an adjustable rear tangent sight (up to 800 meters) and shoulder stock (not included), making it a sort of compact carbine.
• Saw use in trench warfare, where its higher accuracy and range were valued.

Post-WWI:

• After WWI, many surviving LP.08s were stored, sold, or repurposed.
• Some were used in the Weimar Republic, by paramilitary units (Freikorps), and occasionally reissued during the early stages of World War II (mostly for second-line use or training).
• They were also exported in limited numbers.

Wars Used In

• World War I (1914–1918): Primary and original deployment.
• German Revolution / Weimar unrest (1918–1923): Used by Freikorps and other factions.
• World War II (1939–1945): Very limited and secondary use; most had been replaced by newer sidearms like the P.38.
