Not sure that they all wanted it, but a Luger is a well proven pistol that works reliably.
The German Luger piston is a nice pistol with a good feel that makes it easy to point and shoot. It was a well-known weapon and had been the side arm for the German army since 1917. The American soldier wanted a to get a Luger as a souvenir. He could not use it in combat. The Army frowned upon using enemy weapons. Also, they could not obtain ammunition for the gun.My Father brought back a captured German Luger and the smaller Walther PP, which was used by many military police and high-ranking officers. The German Helmet and the Luger pistol and maybe the Iron Cross medal were the most popular souvenir items that the American soldier sought after.
prices vary based on condition. send me a picture of the items if you want an offer.....
100-1000 or more USD depending on specifics
3 types: standard model with 4" barrel artillery model with 8" barrel (world war 1) naval model also with 8" barrel Lugers came in two calibers. 9mm and 30 cal. luger
No way to answer- there were dozens of different Luger variants. Value will depend on exact model and condition. Never saw a Luger with pearl grips- non-original grips reduce values. Could be anywhere from $200 to $2000.
The plural of Luger would be Lugers.
which is it. PO8 (luger) or 45 cal (pistol) ????
The Luger P08 was the side arm used by the German Army for both World War 1 and World War 2. The pistol was deisgned by George Luger and went into production in 1908, thus Pistol 08 or P08. The design had a unique toggle receiver mechanism. The gun has only 2 screws and they hold on the wood grips. This design uses close tolerance, sliding mechanisms that does not withstand dirt and grime. That is why the Luger holster completely encloses the pistol.

Keith Luger is 6'.
the luger is a German design, not french. luger value depends on overall condition.......
9mm would be the most common. there is also the 30 cal. luger ammo which is a bottle neck cartridge......... lugers were made for the 9mm and 30 cal. lugers
by reference to 'luger' ammo, one believes it to be a 9mm cartridge, which is the cartrige for the German luger. however, there are many other pistol that were made to fire the 9mm luger cartridge. in addition, the luger was also made in the '30 cal luger' which is a smaller bullet in a necked down cartridge.
Browning did not make the Luger
luger were made to fire a 9mm cartridge or the 30 luger cartridge. a 9mm cartridge will not chamber in a 30 cal luger pistol............
