My "new" Luger 08 from 1940
Hello,
I would like to show you my new 08 and get some feedback what we are looking at.
I think (and might be very mistaken) the 08 was originally build by Mauser in 1940 and fell then into the hands of the Russians.
After WW 2 it might have been refurbished for police use (VoPo).
I also got 2 magazines, only the lower one has the same number as the pistol.
So my first question is, what do you think about it?
Do you share my conclusions and/or do you have additional/different info?
Would you recommend it to be shot?
If so, my last picture shows the ammunition I have. I got the S&B recommended to be used with this pistol, however I think from the energy point of view the Magtech should have less. But I have no clue about the powder that is used in either of them.
Best regards,
Martin
