The arms dealer WH e.K. offers:German Arms and Munitions Factories (DWM), Pistol 08 P08, Pistol 1918, Ari P08 (Artillery), 9 mm LugerThe Parabellum pistol, also known as Luger, is a semi-automatic pistol. The standard weapon introduced in 1908 in the German Empire as Pistol 08 was designed by the Austrian Georg Luger. Pistol 08 for mounted troops of the artillery. Manufactured by, for example, Mauser (byf) or DWM. The term "Parabellum" comes from the Latin saying Si vis pacem para bellum ("If you want peace, prepare for war"). Georg Luger was employed by the arms manufacturer Ludwig Loewe & Co. (later DWM). During World War I, the so-called Long Pistol 08 (200 mm barrel, sliding sight, stock, 32-round drum magazine) appeared as a light carbine replacement for artillery troops, which is colloquially known as Ari-08 (Ari is the abbreviation for artillery in military jargon). The artillerymen stationed behind the front did not need rifles and therefore received more easily portable pistols. The P 08 was the standard pistol of the German army in World War I and II but was gradually replaced by the Walther P38 starting in 1938. Manufacturer: DWM - Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken, Eichborndamm 105-177, Miraustraße 10-42, 13403 Berlin-ReinickendorfModel: Long Pistol 08, 1918Caliber 9 mm Lugernot matching numbersMagazine with wooden baseWooden grip panels, presumably originaloriginal proof marks present, imperialCollector's weapongood authentic conditionParts or attachments partially re-blued, refurbishedAccessories: noneThis item is an antique!* Take the opportunity to view in the store.
