Great info. Thank you!

Poor audio: buy a microphone. Straw coloration was not intentional. It results from the variations in the metals and within the bluing salts formulas (including aging of the salts with use). Another internet expert at work..........

Meh. I’ll be sticking to the wood handle Luger for my first purchase. The wood handle is the iconic Luger.

Hello sir I have luger 1916 Can you give me how to proper clean it

I've always wondered what it was for

The MP-18,I didn't have a larger magazine well, but rather a shallower one; that sleeve is to prevent over insertion which can cause damage to the gun if the bolt impacts the magazine. Great video about the MP-18,I here th-cam.com/video/7Z7O8SZhdgw/w-d-xo.html

Just got my luger a couple days ago. I fit the profile you described. I wanted a WWII era luger with the s/42 stamp and ended up buying a G year. I would have settled for any luger after 1935 but this was the one i ended up winning without the auction getting too ridiculous.

My dad was buried with his when he fought at the Battle of the Bulge he said a general gave it to him when they surrender to them and I've seen it and in the native way we're not supposed to touch things that somebody has so we buried it with him it had a signal of a lieutenant colonel and a dagger was also given to my dad when they surrender

👍👍👍👍

Erfurt is a city in germany

Well done video Brad.

😅Hi brad,... Thanks for video. I need a part for my po8... Any resources in your data base you would like to share? Thanks.

Did any DWM Lugers have any straw finish?

Beautiful engineering

There's a loaded chamber indicator, what more does anyone need ????

How does one get their Luger authenticated?

A Beautiful sword! What a bonus find on your European trips.

Nice hardware right there !!

lol the thumbnail 😂

I have a lb of 99.9 certified silver if you want silver and or cashier's check if you can find me a Luger that feed's and functional My # is in the comments

Alec Baldwin is a friend of killary Clinton' and the director was also a journalist investigator who was investigating Hillary Clinton . they're the reasons there

Mine is a 1920 version. My Father got it from a German officer at Arnhem. Not in good condition but it's genuine with a great history.

I'm so jealous!

Cool

This channel deserves more subs

Very nice👍

Still dont get how it feeds at a right angle into the mag

A video on ww2 german rimfire ammunition would be great, I'm curious as to the velocity of it and the accuracy standards of the dsm34.

I’ve been collecting Axis pistols for over a decade now and have yet to buy my first P08. I’ve got all the occupation made French and German allied made Spanish etc. Finally time I add a P08 to the collection.

Is the plum side plate common on the Interarms post war models ?

I got a 1916 German luger i been trying to sell it for like $500 but i dont know how to sell it because i dont have a paperwork for it any tips u got

I LOVE LUGERS. (P08) THANK YOU FOR YOUR INFORMATIVE AND INTERESTING VIDEO. SINCE YOU HAVE SO MANY LUGERS AND SEEM QUITE KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THEM MAYBE YOU CAN HELP ME IDENTIFY THE LUGER THAT I HAVE. It's part WWI AND WWII, the frame has the skinny eagle over 6 which someone told me that is Simpson manufacturer the safety bar that blocks the sear isn't numbered and isn't properly fitted (cut to slide smoothly in operation). The grips looked NEW (light colored walnut) with S/42 on one grip and a skinny eagle over 635 (I think, it's at a friend's house BECAUSE of a FIRE at my place, security reasons while house is being repaired). The springs were WRONG (2 of them instead of 1 spring) I know because I've owned 3 other ones over the years (1915 DWM, 1940 s/42 and commercial ORIGINAL MAUSER from the 60's) I purchased a spring kit from Wolff Springs Co. and installed them. The upper had a DWM toggle assembly but the barrel extension had 1940 on it. The barrel was PRISTINE, looked practically NEW or could have been NEW but it did have the arsenal proof marked. NO USUAL PROOFING MARKS ON THE SIDE OF THE BARREL EXTENSION? THERE WAS NO SERIAL NUMBER UNDER THE BARREL ON THE FRAME OR ON THE SIDE OF THE FRAME? THERE WAS A ERFURT MARKED SIDE PLATE (GOTHIC LETTER E). After replacing the WRONG SPRINGS and a NEW Mec-Gar magazine it works like a CHAMP (NEW PISTOL)and is QUITE ACCURATE as well. So what do you think I have? I thought it may have been put together by a GI after the WAR because the springs were WRONG instead of a POSSIBLE after the WAR pistol for the police or French? Please can you MAYBE help me IDENTIFY its possible origins.😉😁👍. Thank you Sir.🙏 Oh I forgot to mention that obviously it WASN'T MATCHING but parts that were numbered was only 2 different numbers most of the numbers on the frame matched (65) then the rest were 42 which could denote Mauser but NOT on the toggle (DWM). I've seen some with no 2 numbers were the same.🤔😲😳😮‍💨

typical Mauser grips have a bulge at the end....which is supposed to prevent the joint bolt from slipping out sideways......Mauser used old grips for a long time, made of DWM......no bulge.

Mine has "L. Zimmerman" stamped over the word "Luzerne", a major city in Switzerland. Would that be the soldier that the rifle went home with after their service was complete? I believe that it was common for Swiss soldiers to take home their weapons.

You describe the Luger sear safety in the most understandable way, thanks so much ! I now know that my Luger is a 1921 Police rework.

Great video thanks!

Wow!! Thank you for your video. Awesome! Question with regards to ammo: I just bought a 1942 P.08 and do not intend to shoot it very frequently as I want to preserve it in its current great condition, but will definitely fire it every now and then to get the feeling. What ammo should be used in these Lugers? Some say +P ammo, some say regular 9mm, others say FMJ, others brass case, and so on... In other words, I just need to know what current ammo is equal or the most similar to the original German 9mm ammo of the era. Please advice. Thanks

I have 14 various luger magazines, some were sticking and not sending cartridges, in a 9mm Luger... I ultrasonic'ed them, lubed them, and filled them with 30-luger ammo... Off to the range... Running them through a 30-luger, real fast 80 rounds in a few minutes, the Range Master was intrigued by the gun, he said I've never shot one. So I handed him the gun and a magazine and showed him how to run-the-gun... 8 rounds later he had a great big smile, commented about the balance, the smoothness, and said I'm going to have to buy one of these... Good luck with that, finding a good shooting, luger is very expansive, I wish I had bought a dozen of them when they were under $500.

Tengo 75 años y todavía sigo soñando con poseer una de esas bellezas

Hey Brad - Im a coin dealer from new jersey . I purchased a collection and along with it came a 1937 S/42 Luger serial # 540 - I took it to a local shop to sell and the dealer there took the pistol apart to examine it. He was handling customers while doing this and 1 1/2 hrs later im still standing there. I not wanting to "blow a fuse" offered to leave the gun with him over night so he could finish his exam , and I left returning the next day. Welp he told me that he had gotten busy and didnt have a chance to finish. (i also am busy) I took my luger and left ... yes without it put back together. After watching videos on field striping and values as far as matching numbers i then decided to go further and take the firing pin out to see if the numbers matched the rest ... (as all numbers thus far were matching) ... and yes the firing pin matched. So all matching including the clip with the exception of the *period correct holster. I assembled the gun back ... and just as in your video a "loose barrel" . After watching a few more videos on what i could be doing wrong , non showed what your did , to my very easy question = "I field striped my luger and the barrel is loos after assembly" Thanks for you short and quick fix - Five Stars ***** !! (( i didnt mention that i only have one arm , and when seeing you put it straight with your one hand i had mine fixed in about 2 minutes !! )) - C.G.

I drove down to Galesburg, Illinois, a couple of months ago to visit Simpson Ltd. I saw a couple of German Luger pistols on Simpson's website and wanted a closer look before deciding whether to purchase the guns. I was not disappointed. The Simpson store is wonderful -- like visiting a firearms museum. I met Robert, Brad, Floyd and Leroy - good folks. I ended up purchasing two Luger P08s and a C96 Mauser broom handle rig. And I appreciate the honor the store gives to Robert Dunlap, World War II Medal of Honor winner, from Monmouth, IL, just down the road from Galesburg.

Who do I call to talk about mysttuff

Very helpful introduction. Thanks !!

Very well done....excellent books to look for.

Why did some Lugers have the Mauser banner stamped on them?

I got mine for $1000 in 2017. Funny how the one I got is now going for over $2000 now. What the heck is going on?

To bad i live in Canada no buy no sell

Where are you located? I'm in Illinois I need some work done on my luger please and thank you
