Commercial Luger Pistol Variations

[@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!

[@Sufiyankhan-eb8sd]

😭🖑❤😔🐂

[@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.

Damn those are some beautiful guns look like fine jewelry. Love the Lugers and their history.

You are so honest Tom. Tears in eyes material, and as the previous commentator stated: No need to apologize for ANYTHING!

[@avp5964]

Just wow that finish work! Outright gorgeous whether straw or fire blue. Even on the screws, lovely.

[@RogerDier]

When it comes to pure esthetics i regard the luger as far and away the most beautiful.

[@jimf1964]

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.

[@TheSensei977]

I have a question, which company manufactured the p.08 DWM or Mauser better? I can tell you an incredible story, my great uncle inherited his p08 from 1915 and it is almost new, when he was a child he lived in Tampico Mexico and a German submarine and they had almost no fuel and the captain of the submarine gave him 2 P.08 pistols because my great uncle's father gave them fuel. Since the pistols were from submarines they were almost never fired, it is incredible at that time the submarines could arrive Germans so far away. Excellent videos and greetings from chaotic Mexico

[@grumpyoldfart1945]

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.

[@paulpowell4871]

GREAT! loved it , My Grandads 1913? is a treasure that will hopefully be in the family a few more generations. a great machine to fire!

[@evandotterer4365]

One word comes to mind when you see these pistols “quality”. It’s sad it was so abundant back then but today it’s “rare” and expensive.

[@LionquestFitness]

Beautiful firearms.

[@zillsburyy1]

"I bought some guns today" drops 40K on pistols.......

[@trojanthedog]

Beautiful look the Luger. As much art as industry. It is German the way a gladius is Roman.

[@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.

[@timothywhalen9352]

[@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]

Also in order that we understand the insidious nature of 'socialism'. Socialist ideologies, like 'National Socialism', thrive on perceived enemies - class, national or racial.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@alexandregraulle607]

It is Luger who create the 9 mm for the first time !! ^^

[@willywilmouth]

Borchardt Lüger Parabellum !! Si je ne me trompe pas, le premier date de 1896, ensuite tous les 4 ans suivant, 1900, 1904 et bien sûr 1908. Un autre mle est sorti en 1916 avec les variantes "Artillerie" et calibres différents! L'Arme de prédilection des Officiers de la Wehrmarcht, comme le P.38 était l'Arme des "Unter Officieren"....Une Arme superbe, esthétique, ergonomique et efficace en .9 mmm parabellum !........................Cdt......

[@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.

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.

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.

Excelent presentation.
