1918 P-08 Railroad Police?

Doubs · 09-23-2025, 03:12 PM

Your RR Luger appears to have left the factory as a 1918 DWM Artillery Luger as the receiver is notched for the Artillery rear sight. While Erfurt notched all receivers in 1918 (there may be exceptions), DWM only notched those that were manufactured as Artillery Lugers. At some point your barrel and rear toggle link were replaced during rework for Police use.

obtain. I know a little about the Luger pistol, but I am learning more
all the time from folks on this forum. hats off to all you folks.
