  1. 1930-1942 Mauser
    My grandpa's name was Edmund Overend. He became a World War II Marine Corps ACE, credited with shooting down EIGHT enemy aircraft in aerial combat, and assisting in the destruction of a ninth. His first FIVE victories were earned as a pilot with the American Volunteer Group "Flying Tigers." He...
  2. 1918-1930 DWM,Vickers,Bern
    I just picked up my first Luger today, a '23 dated DWM contract Finnish gun, serial L40XX, Finnish army proofed, rechambered to 9mm in the Winter War. Picked it up for $850. Info I found on an old forum said my particular contract pistol was issued to Heavy Field Artillery in 1924, with a...
  3. 1933-1945: Mauser Lugers. Army, Navy, Police
    I have wondered this because it seems off that they add a step to the already complicated process. Its just a stamp, but that is still one step in the way of getting another pistol in the hand of a German. My preliminary theory involves them not wanting germans to get it mixed up with the P.38...
  4. 1933-1945: Mauser Lugers. Army, Navy, Police
    I know this is a real tool. I have a real marked tool and they are identical in look and function. I’ve seen and used the reproductions and they are easy to spot. I got this tool with a byf 42 and was wondering if these markings have any meaning?
  5. 1933-1945: Mauser Lugers. Army, Navy, Police
    I have a BYF 42 35xx Luger. It came with black plastic grips when I bought it. They were unfortunately fakes but I knew that going into it. I ended up buying some really nice original wood grips that are correct for it. They look great and feel good, but I still would like some nice black...
  6. 1933-1945: Mauser Lugers. Army, Navy, Police
    I just wanted to ask this before I contacted them. My ffl told me that I could contact the new orleans ww2 museum to find out the history of a luger if I wanted to know. I find this unlikely but then again the germans were very meticulous and most were made directly for the military as opposed...
  7. 1900-1918: Luger Unit Markings
    Hello, I would like some advice on a unit that used this luger. Marking: P.D.R.20. It is a double dated luger 1918 1920.
  8. 1933-1945: Mauser Lugers. Army, Navy, Police
    What’s y’all’s favorite world war 2 era Luger? Like variants, years, manufacturers, etc? My favorites are ones that say “P.08”. And going more into it, it would probably have to be the byf Lugers because I personally love the code itself and the other stamps and stuff with them.
  9. New Collectors Board
    I just got this gun that I can't identify. There are no manufacturer or brand stamp. It was sold as a baby browning, but it's not... The story from the seller was that it was given to a Norwegian prisoner when he was transfered to a camp/jail in eastern europe during ww2. Of course I can't...
