The first artillery Luger I ever saw was at a gun-show in Florida and it was an all matching Persian artillery Luger with stock, holster, magazine and all. I still speak to the gentleman from time to time.
Thank you Ian. I happen to have one of these with me here in Switzerland. I had to do some research on it before I put it on sale. You just saved me a lot of time.

Name of Persia was founded by Reza Shah 🙏🏻🙋🏻♂️ (it was Persian empire formed by Cyrus the Great in 550 BC).

If the Democratic Socialists have their way, we too will be wishing we could have our guns back. Sure a good thing that our right to own a firearm is in the Constitution, a document we here in the USA put above the Bible or any other holy of holy's.

so on the side of the gun, it reads "Parablom Boland Nemune 1314" in farsi it is "پارابلوم بلند نمونه 1314" which translates to long firearm model 1314. today firearms are called اسلحه "Aslahe" in farsi, but in the olden days they were apparently called پارابلوم "Parabloom". a quick search in google and i got more info on this. Para bellum was the motto of a german ammunitions company that made the first 9*19mm ammo (the company was DWM) this word may have been borrowed from german to refer to the luger pistol. so the translation would be "long Para Bellum (refering to luger) model 1314"

I have a thought about the use of local leather, instead of imported German product. Though Persia at the time was a bit more secular than modern Iran, it's possible that they were concerned about "ritual purity". Use of "unclean" animal hides, such as pigskin, would have been forbidden. Also, the tanning process could have included chemicals that would render even cow or horsehide unclean.
Iran has a long arm history with Germany. We used 98ks, Luger and walters and We still use G3, MP5, MG3. I wouldn't be surprised if post arms embargo we buy HK pistols and UMP
Iran should definitely rebuild its relationship with Germany and the Europeans union as a whole again, and should definitely buy European weapons post sanctions, Iran and Europe are natural allies, a strong Eurasia is the only thing that can bring balance to American hegemony in the world
On the Artillery Luger the marking says "Parabellum Long Model 1935" and I assume it says short model on the normal Luger. As a Persian I really enjoyed this!
The bad part of this video is seeing that artillery Luger, and realizing how much I wish I could afford one those. For some reason I think those are beautiful firearms. I can't help loving the classics like these Lugers and old lever action guns. Yeah AR platform guns are awesome (I have at least one.) and Glock makes great guns that work all the time, but something about these early 20th century automatic pistols (1911 included) are just so, I dunno, great pieces of firearm engineering. *:-)*
For anyone thats wondering The rear markings for pl-08 and p-08 are: "long parabellum model 1314" and "short parabellum model 1314" 1314 is the year that the gun went into service and also our calender is a different callender than the islamic ones The numbers are as follows: 1is۱ 2 is ۲ 3 is ۳ 4 is ۴ 5 is ۵ 6 is ۶ 7 is ۷ 8 is ۸ 9 is ۹ 0 is ۰
IMHO the little Luger tool is more often used for loading Luger magazines than as a "screwdriver." Even with a well calloused thumb, it's hard to load more than five cartridges without one. Otherwise an excellent video, as usual.
True. The Luger was engineered so that the only screws it had were the two that held the grips on. The only other thing a screwdriver would be used for is to turn the firing pin 90 degrees to remove it from the breech block.
Hi Ian, I am from Iran (Persia) Tha exact translation of what is written on the right side of artilery one is "Parablum long model 1314" And for the short one Parablum short model 1314" If there is any question or if you need help abou persian guns please let me know.
Hi, I am Iranian and yes most of Iranian prefer to call them Persian and Persia is cooler than Iran. the translation of the text on artillery Luger is " Long parabellum example 1935". and on standard Luger write "short parabellum example 1935". In the old days, Persian army man used to call Luger "parabellum". both of my grandfather was in army that days. and the seal or logo is the Iran Imperial Army logo, not royal or imperial seal. Of course, both of these are similar with a slight difference, "ٰ The Lion and Sun" is our national logo, "The Lion and Sun and the Crown" is Royal logo, and An oak branch and an olive branch are placed around the lion, the sun and the crown is the Iran Imperial Army logo. and tanks it is very interesting 👍
Ahh the Luger, every time I watch one of these videos I kick myself for selling my pristine German 42 standard Luger with 2 matching mags cleaning kit and holster. I knew better to, but I just figured it was a typical Army Issue Luger and one day I would find a "better" one. I never did, GOD how I wish I had kept it, just because it was a Luger. I took her out and shot her a LOT before I sold her off, I was getting quite good with it, even considered carrying it instead of the Smith Model 59 that I carried on duty but thought I would get laughed out of town if I were seen packing an old WWII Luger for a duty gun, and it wasn't as reliable with hollow point 9mm rounds as the Smith, with hardball though she was a sewing machine that could be used as a printer on the target, I could write my name with her if I had enough ammo.
"nemooneh" can also mean Type or model but i agree they had distinguished that this is the long (or tall?) version. I was also surprised they had spelled parabellum phonetically, i had to stare at it a few seconds to recognize what was happening
Two points to ponder. Firstly, I wonder why Mauser didn't employ an Arabic script calligrapher to create a logo when they went to so much effort to execute Farsi and Arabic script numerals elsewhere on the piece? Secondly, why the Iranians/Persians chose to do the leatherwork themselves rather than include it in the contract; could it have been for cost reasons or to guarantee the avoidance of pigskin leather or pork fat in its treatment?
@@jeremyperala839 it would havd been all to easy for a slip up to have been made and some pigskin get through or, as the British in India found out, that a rumour that pig products were used to spread.
I have seen a number of com-bloc firearms that were re-serialized because the original serial numbers included Cyrillic. How did these get on to the US market with Farsi serial numbers? It's cool mind you, but I'm very curious.
How much of a value difference is there between an artillery luger that has all matching parts & 1 that is mismatched, considering all other things being equal?
It is actually Persian calendar which is Zoroastrian Religion, it is why the Persian new year is on the spring solstice, a very important religious date for those who are Zoroastrian. And if you are Persian, regardless of religion it is an important ceremony. That calander is based on the sun, while the Islamic is based on the movement of the moon. Such a thing is so pretty to me.

Have Ian you ever found a magazine that matched gun or a gun that matched a magazine you already had. I know it’s not like. But if anyone has rematched a gun with it’s original magazine it would probably be you.
That's probably noob questions here but ... What's the point of having such a big barrel ? Looks unwieldy. And a stock for a handgun ? I guess it's to improve accuracy but it seems like overkill. What made that model an artillery one ? Besides the obviously long barrel I mean. It didn't use the same type of munitions ?
Precursor to the M-1 Carbine concept? Artillery crews needed a personal defense weapon that would not be an inconvenience while setting up and serving the guns. Even a Mauser 98 carbine would either have to be stored close to the work-site or more inconveniently, slung on the owners back. Those artillery pieces are big and HEAVY, especially on a torn-up two-way rifle range. A long pistol in a stock-holster? Much more convenient.
The date on it is not Islamic or Arabic one. It is solar calendar that use in Iran for more than 1800 years and its envinted by Iranian scientist Khayam. It's most precise calendar in the world.
Interesting piece of history, iam Iranian my self and wasn't aware of any of this

How much of a value difference is there between an artillery luger that has all matching parts & 1 that is mismatched, considering all other things being equal?
Not that much and simultaneously a whole lot. Depends on the auction, like every auction.
I would think it would depend on which part didn't match. MANY Luger magazines don't match the pistol, so that is less critical to the value.
It is actually Persian calendar which is Zoroastrian Religion, it is why the Persian new year is on the spring solstice, a very important religious date for those who are Zoroastrian.

@@51WCDodge That's the trouble though. You have to keep it oiled or it will degrade. And, the oil itself will go rancid, so saddle soap is good to remove the oil build up.
@@apodski I've a side saddle about 120 years old, Built in England 1901 , still in use. Wonder how many people besides me have sat there and cleaned it, and oiled it, and checked sticihing?
The machining on the sight ramp at 3:00 looks very rough. Are all Lugers like that?
My 1917 DWM LP.08 has similar machining marks in the same place.
I don't care what anyone says, Lugers are the coolest pistols in existence.
Very interesting
Have Ian you ever found a magazine that matched gun or a gun that matched a magazine you already had. I know it’s not like. But if anyone has rematched a gun with it’s original magazine it would probably be you.
That's probably noob questions here but ...
What's the point of having such a big barrel ? Looks unwieldy. And a stock for a handgun ? I guess it's to improve accuracy but it seems like overkill.
What made that model an artillery one ? Besides the obviously long barrel I mean. It didn't use the same type of munitions ?
Precursor to the M-1 Carbine concept?
Artillery crews needed a personal defense weapon that would not be an inconvenience while setting up and serving the guns. Even a Mauser 98 carbine would either have to be stored close to the work-site or more inconveniently, slung on the owners back. Those artillery pieces are big and HEAVY, especially on a torn-up two-way rifle range.
A long pistol in a stock-holster? Much more convenient.
Ahh yes the pistol I’ve always wanted and missed the chance to buy 1 at $1500 bucks at a LGS
Beautifull.
All guns should be marked in Farsi
It just looks way cooler.
The date on it is not Islamic or Arabic one. It is solar calendar that use in Iran for more than 1800 years and its envinted by Iranian scientist Khayam. It's most precise calendar in the world.
Yes! NOT ARABI! It is an Iranian Persian calendar and it is based on the sun!
Appreciate you using the real national flag of Persia.
I wish there never would have been a revolution.
Revolution Ruined my Country!
