Since there seems to be a lack of a Luger / Mauser / P38 picture thread I thought I would start one. I will Start My 1942 BYF Luger    |
  Sorry don't have a pic of the P38. It's a run of the mill ruskie capture walther. |

What did you expect would happen? Next time give him a block of clay with some wires and batteries.

    Markings on the magazine are P.08 and proof over 37 (twice on the left side and fxo This pistol belongs to a neighbor how is possibly looking to part with it. I have no idea of the value but would love to know??? He recieved it from his uncle back in 1956 when he became a LEO. An interesting career followed... From a non'historical perspective this nephew is a man who is a retired LEO, by the name of Harry who was a Metro Det Lt formerly assigned to bank robbery. The Harry known as Dirty Harry took his picture with this nephew Harry back when the nephew had some unpleasant business at a bank, and again on a bus. The rest is the history aforementioned. Damn shame the handgun pictured above isn't a S&W Model 29! |

I have no idea P08! Actually I would need you guys help me to find out more about this Mauser. Anyway yes, rumours here in Italy say that it should be from the '70, but the blueing looks like it was made few days ago. I bought that yesterday and I spent half night removing the preservative grease on the mechanic. The complete absence of wear on the rails shows that it was never fired. Below the trigger plate I found some marking. I've identified the first as a proof of test with smokeless ammo, the second is the logo of the testing facility in Koln-Germany, the third is "KI" that I suspect is the year of the test, but I'm not sure, the forth and last is a kind of "F" on top or 2 "W". I really appreciate if somebody could educated me about my new p08. Paolo |
Grace under fire, business as usual

Take some more pictures of it and post them. I will have to see, but I know that Mauser reworked quite a few WWII Lugers in the 70's. Most I think stayed in the European market. |

I bought this Russian capture P38 (ac45) from R Guns in (near) Chicago IL.Numbers match and it looks unfired (I know! The Russians dipped these things in EL MARKO ink).Haven't shot it yet (it's either 101 degrees or its raining).
Attached File (EDIT) I have shot it since the first post, Shoots good, runs fine, and gets looks at the range. |
About $1000. You may want to go up to www.gunbroker.com & check what guns like it are going for. Use search terms of C96 or Broom |

Here's my contribution, a little .vs pic http://www.k-a.net/forum/luger.jpg http://www.k-a.net/forum/webley.jpg |
Ok, I'll play. I have one good one and a couple shooters. This first one, I got from one of my parent's neighbors. The gentleman had two Lugers. One, he captured and brought back. This one that I was given was one that he loaned a friend money and the guy gave him this gun. When I was about 12 years old, the guy that owned these guns called me over to his house and let me shoot the gun he brought back. It was very clean, holster was in very nice condition, two mags, cleaning kit, original ammo still loaded in the mags. The story went like this: In the days immediately following the surrender, this guy was tasked with driving around and rounding up Nazi officers to be registered as former Nazi officers. He comes accross this guy with this Luger. He asks the guy nicely if he can have the Luger. The guy says no, he wants to keep it. Neighbor says, Ok, no problem BUT, before you are done with this process someone is going to take it away from you. So, the officer gives him the gun and says that he at least asked him for it nicely. Neighbor died several years ago and his wife offered me my choice of that bring back, or the gun I am about to post the pictures of. I decided to take the one I did simply because I had a "regular" Luger and I thought this one was an Artillary model. Once I got it home I realized it wasn't. I don't know much about it and I posted a thread asking for information about it. Here it is:

Then the "Submarine Commander". It is a real good shooter. This would have been a real nice gun if it was never chromed.
