EPIC Krieghoff Luger Overview - Every Variation!

In this video, Tom gives us a broad-brush overview of every Krieghoff luger variation and gives some history about how Krieghoff landed the contract to start manufacturing the luger. To our knowledge, this is the first time every variation has been in one place!

[@alderringer8816]

How can anybody not be impressed by Tom's knowledge of not only Lugers, but many other older collectible firearms, accessories and weapons. Nice job Tom well worth the view.

[@alfulton5946]

I'm sure there's someone but that person probably isn't impressed by anything or anyone because they were dropped on their head as a child 😆 😆 😆 🤣 😂

[@ar6985]

Epic is an understatement. Very impressive....very impressive.

[@christophermccormick2714]

Tom, you are the Man!!!

[@imthatguy1878]

I only have one po8, it's a 1937 s-42 variation that came back with a ww2 veteran, I was given it along with a 44 mauser and 44 walther p38 with the promise to keep the 3 together as a stipulation when passed on to my care, I can't control what happens when I'm no longer around but will honor the request while I am the caretaker

[@michaelgoldman1433]

Man I wish I could own a luger pistol alone but your lucky enough to have the entire collection :)

[@para1324]

Thomas you really know the guns and history, captivating information. Thank you. I am leaning in every time you present a video. 👍🇺🇸

[@gunfisher4661]

Absolutely enjoyed this video and of course all the research involved for these , Awesome .

A fantastic collection.

[@TB13241]

Tom you're the man, thank you for these videos!

[@hhhhhh5398]

Thanks! Another amazing video. Seeing all of these guns one table is fascinating view.

[@FreedomsLife1776]

Can you imagine the value of this mans collection??? Phenomenal. I’d be so paranoid about the care of each and every gun; like I am now. I’d never sleep. Thanks for your vids man!!!!

[@DenverPicker]

As a luger collector myself, I think the market is tightening up. People are interested in guns that are actually comfortable to shoot and don’t cost $1500-$8000 and up.

[@additudeobx]

"An Epic video" ... to say the least... I am so green with envy that.... well, you could grow moss on me....and listening to Toms knowledge of Lugers never bores me..... when Tom says, "There's more, but we don't have time for that".... I say, "Tom, you're just teasing me".... I for one, will listen to anything you have to talk about with Lugers and PP's and PPK's and history. Bluetooth headphones, a couch and my laptop and Tom's captivated me.... Keep it up... I am astonished with your subject knowledge. Thanks again for another great video.

[@additudeobx]

...and Tom, I forgot to ask, do these Lugers all belong to your own personal collection? This is just a superb collection. Just the picture of them all together at one place at one time like this is in itself a historical event. I'm confident that this is only something that you could have done. I am so happy to have found this channel.....

[@adaltianno]

Tom, you have a plethora of WWII knowledge. Thanks for adding to my gun-porn collection videos. You mention, if we see guns at auction that we are interested in, we can send pics to you and you can give your 2cents on them?

I shoot Krieghoff shotguns competitively - and have met Dieter a number of times (Dieter is Heinrich son).

[@johnjacobi4593]

Can Dieter confirm or deny 1945 pistols were made?

[@maximalwest2797]

Und ich hab bei der Krieghoff Villa bei der Familie Krieghoff Baeume gefällt auf Arbeit! Ich weiß nicht wer mit mir gesprochen hat, ein älterer Herr der ziemlich von seinen Kindern versteckt wurde. Er erzählte viel darüber wie Russen alles mitgenommen haben in Suhl. Und Schmeisser. Und darüber das die Kalaschnikov Deutscher ist als viele meinen! Ich mag nicht ins Detail gehen, weil da wurden Dinge gesagt die man nirgends sonst hört, aber es war ein Krieghoff, ich haette die Chance besser nutzen sollen als ich da war! Wer weiß was in der Villa alles ist und die Kinder sind definitiv auf Distanz zur Thematik!

[@svenlindemann5084]

Great documentation, I just had the pleasure to shoot a 1937

[@imthatguy1878]

That's what I own, my 37 is beautiful and always gets a lot of looks when taken out

[@TheTheoryOfSpace]

The 1941 Krieghoff you showed has a straw mag release versus the fire blue

[@russellclemmer3245]

I just discovered this awesome channel! It would be great if you could do a video segment on the ultra-rare .45 ACP lugers that were produced for the US Army pistol trials of 1907 (I think) Only three were produced I believe . Sure wonder where they are today. Even though you likely don't have an example in your collection.........would be great to hear your thoughts on these rare guns...........

[@MrPaul7977]

WOW !!!!! I would love to see you whole collection of German weapons from WW ll !! I never k ew Krieghoff Lugers were made with very high quality and intricate sense to detail. You can actually see the high on the guns !!

[@kellyphillips9770]

Wow’sers!!!!!!!! I don’t think I have ever seen so many Rolexes...I mean Krieghoffs in one place!! Whatis also interesting is that Krieghoff didn’t follow the standard letter block production numbering. I guess they just weren’t making many so just keep going with the numbers without the letter block? Very interesting pistols.

[@RichardGoth]

In his next video Tom will attempt to escape from a room constructed entirely of Lugers :-)

[@piotrmroz7213]

Wow another great film about Lugers. Thanks for sharing. My dream is to make similar research about the WW1 Aviation LMG Parabellums M 1914 and M.14/17

[@stevenc9244]

Wow, great presentation of a hard to find Luger. I know what you mean of rare non combat bringing less money. I have a 1939 police S/42 in 97-98% that will bring less than a common Wehrmacht of same year.

[@hiranhorta]

Muito obrigado!

Is that the damn luger from resident evil code veronica?

I know this is a year later but could you put out some more info on Bulgarian contract Lugers? Thanks

[@ronsteiner2580]

I have a C-96 pre WW1 can you do more on this ?

[@parveenmalik8918]

JAI HIND SIR FOR ME WITH LOVE👍👍

[@Foche_T._Schitt]

Ronsonol lighter fluid may take the sticker residue off without harming the leather. Try it on something other than a Krieghoff holster.

[@additudeobx]

Can also try medium heat to warm the residue then dab the spot with sticky side of duct tape to pull the residue off....

[@chestertnted]

I don't think any more detail can be added.

[@p1nacle80]

wow, i would love to ask you a question. i got a luger from an estate sale, it has horn or bone handles are those aftermarket or something unique.

[@thomaswhiteman4261]

Definitely after market. Enjoy. !

One critique: Next time, when you say “grab a drink”....I am going to need more time than just a piece of a second to get my drink!

[@kellyphillips9770]

Of course I am kidding!

[@Physics072]

No lugers where made with that white paint in the symbols. It devalues them but people keep adding it thinking fake white paint somehow makes them look better.

[@jaumemartinezrodriguez9141]

Hola buenas noches, desde España, están en venta, si pueden responderme, cual es su precio, gracias

I heared much about these beautiful and interesting guns but...which one is the most desireable..?

go to your video about the Herman goering engraved ppk . I wrote about a letter in an antique shop addressed to herman goering from 1938 costs 350 dollars.

Some definitely did, but cant really track who they went to. Some also went to pilots.

[@remibuschmann9301]

I got one, S/42, taken from a dead german paratrooper at Dombås, Norway, april 1940. Bought it from the son of a soldiers who fought the germans there. Sadly not a Krieghof, but a Luger nevertheless.

[@allangarrett6251]

The Krieghoff factory was liberated by the Americans, which might explain the relative prevalence of 1945's over here. Also, the author fails to comment on the 7.65 mm "Model 1923" 3 5/8" barrel DWM Krieghof(f).

[@jackertl6416]

Does anyone know if they make p08 reproductions in 9mm

Tom let me give you a suggestion: Please don't mention prices or costs, it diminishes the worth of what education is all about. Prices can be privately discussed.

[@thomaswhiteman4261]

probably a good idea. When I dont mention price people always ask; but honestly I am uncomfortable mentioning prices for a variety of reasons. I can go back to handling it privately. thanks for watching.
