WORLD WAR I 1916 Dated ERFURT Arsenal P.08 GERMAN LUGER Pistol 9x19mm
C&R IMPERIAL GERMAN ARMY SIDEARM
Description: WORLD WAR I 1916 Dated ERFURT Arsenal P.08 GERMAN LUGER Pistol 9x19mm C&R IMPERIAL GERMAN ARMY SIDEARM Here we present a World War I “1916” Dated P.08 Luger Pistol, made at the German Royal Arsenal at Erfurt, Germany. These were made for the Imperial German Army and were used in the bitter fighting of trench warfare of the Great War. Basing his design off Hugo Borchardt’s seminal C93, Georg Luger successfully brought Borchardt’s work to practical fruition. While finding buyers for the C93 seemed an exercise in futility, the new Luger Pistol found many countries eager to test it and even adopt it. There are many variations in this field of collecting, but relatively few major changes in overall design from beginning to end. The Luger is certainly one of the most iconic firearms in history, made so by its association with Germany during both World Wars. His design would be especially successful throughout World War I & World War II. These pistols had and still have a reputation of being of utter quality and quite expensive to produce. This specimen is dated “1916” on the top of the chamber. The toggle is marked with a “Crown/ERFURT”. This P.08 Luger features Imperial German Army Proofs and checkered walnut grips. This pistol is serial numbered in the German military style. German military proof and acceptance marks are located throughout. The overall condition is good. Refinished. The numbers match with the exception of the magazine base and the grips. The action is excellent. The bore is in very good condition with strong rifling. No import markings. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Barrel is 4 inches. Caliber: 9x19mm (Luger, Parabellum) Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING.
