Jack,

Well!!! Not a particularly easy question to answer. Depends on what you mean.

BKIW production was transferred to Mauser in 1930. The first contract with the Heereswaffenamt for the P.08 was in 1934.

Mauser's production of the P.08 ended officially in 1942 with clean-up going on into 1943/44.

However, Mauser produced some commercial/export contracts into 1945.

The French operated the Mauser Works from 1945-1946.

But.. modern Lugers were also produced later as commenoratives, etc. And probably will still be in the future. Thus an overly simplified answer could be 1930 until ?????

Hopefully this data will allow you to answer your own question.
