  • One of the most sought after Military surplus firearms, the Luger P08 Served the German Army from 1908-1945 and beyond with Police until the 1980's. Thanks to my friend Bill for the loaner! We also appreciate Fiocchi for Supplying the ammo! #Luger #LugerP08 #Fiocchi

    You look like Artie Johnson with the helmet and glasses from Laugh In, very interesting

    The Luger is such a beautiful gun. Even though the design is 100 years old it looks like something from the future

    The best looking handgun the Germans produced. I am fortunate to own a 1941 made model.

    I love this gun so much, so iconic I'm just shocked nobody is making a clone/updated version with maybe double stack mags?

  • @rubennasser6907

    The Navy Luger was adopted in 9mm Parabellum, not 7.65.

    Good video. My dad was an Army Air Corp pilot in WW2. He and his CO landed to capture several surrendering German soldiers and officers near the end of the conflict. It’s 100% original and in mint condition. The Lugar will be passed to my oldest son along with a local newspaper account of the event.

    First thing that came to my mind:. Sootch has gone full Arte Johnson.

    Love my P08. Searched for years for one. Finally found a beautiful Waffenstamped Black Widow. All matching. Love it

    Actualy you have an early one there , around 1918. The crown over N is an “ civilian “ proofmark. Your P08 is a police one one with the rare “Schiwy sicherung” Sadly is has been reblued and the markings on the toggle and top of the frame are wiped out. Also most of the parts are not numbered on the right places. It seems it had quite a “ life”. But as it is its a nice shooter and it has some collector value.

    The original wartime P38 had a steel frame and was manufactured by Walther, Mauser and Spreewerks. Walther post-war guns switched to aluminum frames. That said, I don’t pretend to be an expert but I own several and I think they are great firearms.

    I first came across this weapon in 1969 when I was a kid, it belongs to my father's classmate who was a police officer and once in awhile visiting us he would remove the magazine and hand it to me for the entire time of his visit. I was taught to work the action, learn it's name that's why I still have memories of it.

    I wish I could justify the cost of collecting one of these 😞

    I bought one of these in Spain in 1981. It was my first pistol. Actually it was a cap gun key chain from a beach side souvenir shop, but you lifted the toggle to place the plastic cap in, and then pull the trigger to “shoot” it. Hey, I was 8 years old.

    Sadly the Luger po8 it's just a dream gun to add to your collection you either have to be pretty wealthy or lucky to own one but it's always nice to see someone shooting one thanks for the video
