Luger P.08 U.S. Army Test Trial Pistol
Description: Here is a extremely RARE 1 of 1000 test trial Lugers made for the United States Army. In April of 1901, the United States Board of Ordnance and Fortifications put in an order for 1,000 of these Lugers following test trials in which the model was fired 2,000 times under the harshest conditions possible. These Lugers feature the Great Seal over the chamber, which was not included upon request, but rather was found to be a great sales tool for the Swiss market by DWM following their initial sales of the same model but featuring the Swiss sunburst. The characteristics that separate these American Test Eagle Lugers from the other Model 1900 Lugers are the lack of proofs, the lack of a 'GERMANY' import stamp, and the last two digits of the serial number on the right end of the takedown Lever. This particular pistol, serial 6665, features grips that are numbered and matching to the gun(65), and a wood-bottom magazine that is not serialized to the gun. Bore is shiny with good rifling. This Luger retains 95% of its original blueing and straw finished parts. Action is tight and all mechanics are functional. Comes with an original holster which is certainly rarer than the gun itself. I have seen these sell for $3000 alon. A great addition to any Luger, Military, US military or German collection. SOLD Handgun Caliber: 7.65x22mm Parabellum (7.65x22mm Luger, .30 Luger) Manufacturer: DWM Model: P.08 Serial Number: 6665 |
