Original Item. Only One Available. The Pistole Parabellumor Parabellum-Pistole (Pistol Parabellum), commonly known as just Luger is a toggle-locked recoil-operated semi-automatic pistol which was produced in several models and by several nations from 1898 to 1948. The design was first patented by Georg Luger as an improvement upon the Borchardt Automatic Pistol and was produced as the Parabellum Automatic Pistol, Borchardt-Luger System by the German arms manufacturer Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken (DWM). The first production model was known as the Modell 1900 Parabellum. Followed by the \”Marinepistole 1904\” for the Imperial German Navy. The later versions included the popular \”Parabellum Pistole Modell von 1908\” or simply \”P08\” (Pistole 1908) which was produced by DWM and other manufacturers such as W+F Bern, Krieghoff, Simson, Mauser, and Vickers. The first Parabellum pistol was adopted by the Swiss army in May 1900. 1904 they were adopted by the German Navy. In German Army service, it was adopted in slightly modified form as the Pistole Modell 1908 (Pistole 08) in caliber 919mm Parabellum. The Model 08 was eventually succeeded by the Walther P38.

This is a lovely WWII Era identification model of the P08 Luger pistol. It is entirely solid and has no moving parts, and does not function at all. It is not available for export.

The paint is heavily worn. A good example, ready for further research and display.
