Item No.: 7943 Price : SOLD
Item : 1911 DATED, ERFURT P.08 LUGER W/ UNIT MARKINGS
Description :
This is an original, pre-WWI production P.08 Luger Pistol manufactured by Erfurt in 1911. This was the first year of standard production of the Luger by Erfurt. Chambered for the 9mm Parabellum cartridge, the P.08 was the standard service pistol of the German army in WWI. This pistol has Imperial unit markings stamped on the front grip strap. They are "8.A.F.2.2.", which I believe is the 8th (Rhenish) Foot Artillery, 2nd Regiment, 2nd Pistol, but there is a more than even chance that I am completely wrong on this! The pistol is in fine condition with about 85% of its factory blue remaining. The majority of the wear is on the grip straps, with a little holster wear on the barrel and side plate. The bore is good, having a touch of light pitting, but strong rifling along its length. Mechanically, the action works, but the slide does not lock back on an empty magazine. The grips, which are numbered to the gun, have a few small dings from use. This gun is all matching except for the magazine, which is an aftermarket replacement. In addition, almost every part, right down to the grip screws, is stamped with a proof mark. Early Erfurt Lugers have no stock lugs. This is a nice early Luger with Imperial unit markings. Stock no. 20899
