A LUGER 9MM (PARABELLUM) MODEL 1908 MILITARY AUTOMATIC PISTOL BY MAUSER, No 6677

1937 Dated Pre-World War II German Mauser s/42 Code Luger P.08 Pistol

Here we present a German “s/42” Mauser P08 Luger, made in 1936. Based on Hugo Borchardt’s novel design of a semi-automatic pistol, the “Luger” pistol was designed by Georg Luger, the man tasked with taking an awkward, cumbersome and expensive pistol and making it into one of the world’s most iconic firearms of all time.

The Model P08 was adopted by Germany and was used through both WWI and WWII.

This piece is dated “1937” on the barrel and has the Mauser company’s coded designation of “s/42”.

The overall condition is very Good. Original blued finish. The action is excellent. The bore is ok with strong rifling.

Mauser produced Lugers from this era were manufactured for both Police & Military. This is a Military Contract & bears Military acceptance marks

Matching numbers (except magazine), see images & good original condition.
