The Luger was a very precision crafted firearm, the grip angle feels extremely natural, the 9mm cartridge had a decent amount of power, they were seen as desirable war trophies, and they simply look sexy to many people. However, I still prefer my 1911A1 in 45 ACP.
The P08 was not made in 1830.
The Luger P08 was a standard sidearm of the German Military in both World Wars.
I believe you will find that the German Luger P08 went into production in the early 1900's. P08 basically refers to Pistol of 1908.The luger was used extensively during WW1 and WW2 by German forces.
depends on overall condition
$13 USD / RM 32 in 1945
Better is a very relative term. In terms of quality and reliability, the P08 Luger rated higher in these regards. It also used a more powerful cartridge. But it was also complicated and expensive to manufacture, which is why the P38 came to be.
remove the magazine they pull UP on the top toggle which will then eject any round in the chamber.......................
Oh, dude, the Luger P08 pistol was typically made with steel, wood, and a bit of German engineering magic. Like, they really knew how to put together a gun that looked classy while also being deadly efficient. So, yeah, steel and wood were the main ingredients for that bad boy.
it is probably a 30 cal luger, which is a bottle neck cartridge.
The P08 Luger was a pistol, and a very iconic one of the Germany during both World Wars. It was also the pistol which introduced the 9x19mm cartridge (also known as the 9mm Parabellum or 9mm Luger).
look on top of receiver, rear of barrel, and you will see a date......that's it.
probably none
