Commercial Luger Pistol Variations

One of our loyal viewers sent us his entire extensive collection of commercial Lugers. In this video, we show you these guns and review other commercial luger variations.

[@hhardoyost5159]

This luger pistol is my favourite gun. During my childhood I had one but water gun.

[@ogstopper]

No need to apologise for ANYTHING. I think anyone with a scintilla of common sense knows that the phrase "Nazi gun" refers to the fact that it was manufactured or used during the Nazi era. As ever, a brilliant educational film. Thank you so much.

[@duartesimoes508]

Of course!

[@DarrellBeckford]

I agree, in fact apologizing suggests there could be something wrong with collecting these guns. To the victor go the spoils and Lugers are some of the best spoils out there!

[@fionakovachev4484]

The Luger Parabellum was develop long time before Nazi era 1934-1945. So don't post the rubbish

[@davidjacobs8558]

@@fionakovachev4484 as this video showed, Luger was developed by Georg Luger working for DWM company, which was owned by Ludwig Loewe (changed his original name from Louise Levy) a Jew. Similar to How Mercedes Benz is not Nazi automobile, since Mercedes Name is derived from a Jewish Girl named Mercedes Jellenik.

Thanks for yet another most interesting and educational video on these beautiful and fascinating weapons. Many years ago I owned a DWM Commercial model in 7.62 mm (1923?). I almost weep when I recall that through my youthful expedience, I swapped it away! Please keep up your good work.

No need to apologize for anything. As much as certain people believe guns kill people, they also think they can have political persuasions, yet ignore the fact Volkswagen was a vehicle made for the nazis, Hugo Boss designed nazi uniforms, Mitsubishi made Japanese zeros etc etc... I understand people being uncomfortable that someone is idealizing the nazi party, but history is history. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean we all have to ignore it. What amazingly beautiful pistols. I can't believe there are examples out there is such wonderful condition.

Also a 25 acp SEAM( Spanish Arms ) pistol with a sawed off extended barell that Dad got on the battlefield somewhere. Works too.

[@nicolasferrara4837]

I am a Luger collector I have 52 of them only 2 repeats, some in fair condition, mostly in very good condition and a couple almost out of the box. really what I wanted to point out is that in both presentation you do not mention that the Mauser lugers have a very special carachteristic in that in their back frame they have a small bump, some authors said they were afraid the small tumbler might slip out during firing of the weapon. Excelent presentation.

[@nuancolar7304]

The Lugers are no more to blame for Naziism than actual Nazi soldiers who used captured American pistols and rifles to kill Americans (which did happen). Nobody would say that, in those situations, the guns were Nazi Garands or Nazi .45 Autos.

[@2speechless608]

Did anyone else notice the: ”Unexpected just like my middle child” In the beginning of the video?

[@8888gold]

Thanks for another interesting and informative video, I always learn something new when I watch your videos. I don't understand the need for some people to complain about the use of the word Nazi, yourself and other collectors enjoy purchasing these types of pistols for the historical value, that doesn't mean or suggest that we agree or support the Nazi philosophy or doctrines from that era.

[@robertkf1]

Very informative.

[@alderringer8816]

Great video Tom, and for the people who are "offended" by your use of "Nazi Guns", they need to get a life. Perhaps they should be protesting and marching with the other snowflakes, instead of being educated by your vast knowledge of these weapons.

[@Young_23]

Amazing video!

[@duartesimoes508]

These are gorgeous pistols, and, if I may, you shouldn't place them so close to each other. The first one to tumble will create a domino effect that may well scratch the whole collection. And these Lugers are superb!

[@mfreund15448]

Since Tom has literally wrote the book on Lugers and many other guns, I would defer to what he feels is a good way for him to showcase the guns in his possession.

[@evandotterer4365]

Also I agree with you. Nazi history is important to learn about. So we understand hate and racism. And how we can not incubate those feelings as a modern society so they can never be recreated. I believe history is only repeated if you chose to forget those lessons others have learned.

[@haroldgodwinson832]

What a lovely collection of my favourite gun! Thanks for showing it to us. Here in England we can no longer own pistols of any description and I had a dog of a Luger ( BYF42)to look at I bought at an auction. No one but me bid on it because it looked so tatty, but I had examined it and looked down the barrel...... it was in absolutely mint condition, so I got it and it shot like a demon, I won a couple of cups with that Luger and boy do I miss owning it, knowing it went for crushing and scrap. Fucking governments!!

[@dankoj9314]

I have one from 1915. It's in almost perfect shape! I want to sell it for 2000e. Last year one German tourist offer me 2500 euro , but at that time I didn't need money! I have lost his phone number,so I can not find him. If you are interested, send me your viber number and I will send you the pictures of it. Only on the viber we can connect each other for this!

[@jdisdetermined]

That is such an injustice. 95% of any and all government is made up of people who don't know a fucking thing about the shit they push at us. Just self serving crooked bullshit, all about power and control over the people who don't need them. Successful people who live quietly, pay taxes, drive the economy, never need a handout and rarely ask for anything except to be left the fuck alone. I get pissed just thinking about it.

Tom-I really enjoy your videos. You talk a lot about proof marks and the various stamps on Lugers. Have you ever seen the actual tool that imprinted the stamps? Was it hand held or was it a machine? Just wondering. Also-thanks for the Luger magazine I purchased from your company last week. It was exactly as described.

Would love to own one ... curious as to why there are any number of clones of classic pistols, e.g., the 1911 ACP .45, the Walther PPK [usually in .380], various lever and bolt action rifles, etc. Seeing as how these are such popular and sought-after items, why is no gun maker producing clones?

I don't care what people say about the luger the luger is awesome

[@bobbadley8347]

I like your YT channel and have already seen many videos. I'm fascinated by your knowledge of the "08". In Germany we don't say Luger, we say "08" or "P08". II M D is probably a Roman numeral, but makes no sense, as the letters are not written in this order: II = 2 , M = 1000 , D = 500 This must have a different meaning. My father had a 9mm 08 after the Second World War, my be from my grand father. After the Ware there were pistols, carbines, even MGs, on almost every attic back then. That was completely normal in the country side back then. I was than allowed to stay up until midnight and was always excited and fascinated when my father took the "08" out of the pantry next to the kitchen and shot it into the air in the street. He also had a beautiful shotgun with the barrels fully engraved. Almost all of us children had a side-barrelled rifle (Seitengewehr 98) and a Wehrmacht belt, "Gott mit uns" (God with us) and a swastika.If you didn't have one of those, you didn't really belong ;-) This god times came to an end in the time of of tbe end of 70th, when the Baader-Meinhoff terrorists (RAF)have kidnapped and killed VIPs and the gun laws in Germany have been idiotically tightened to make it difficult for terrorists to obtain weapons. Completely crazy, because the terrorists raided barracks and stole the weapons or got them from the palesitens. From then on, it was the sport shooters and those who had WWI and WWII weapons at home who were in trouble.
