BRITISH WAR TROPHY WWI 1917 Dated ERFURT P08 GERMAN LUGER C&R Pistol 9x19mm
IMPERIAL GERMAN Sidearm w/MATCHING NUMBERS
Here we present a C&R World War I “1917” 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 “1917” on the top of the chamber. The toggle is marked with a “Crown/ERFURT”. This pistol is serial numbered in the German military style with all visible numbers matching including the magazine. In addition, this piece was British proofed when a Tommy brought it home as a victory trophy!
The overall condition is fine. Original finish. The action is excellent. The bore is bright with sharp rifling. The grips are solid. The numbers match throughout, including the grips. A fantastic piece of history!
