An amazing coincidence.
I was talking to a near neighbour of mine (Piet) about my Artillery Luger just acquired and he came out with the story of his 1911 Luger.
I told him that I also had a 1911 Luger packed away.
After looking at it, he convinced me to share it here too as it's origin seems to be close to his.
It is a 1911 P08 from DWM with serial number 9915 with what looks like the letter "e" below the number
Matching number throughout including magazine.
Apparently issued to the German South West African Police (GSWAP) according to the markings on the back strap - LP 383
I am still fairly new to this forum and collecting and do not have any story, or further information on this Luger. I am however, fascinated and researching/learning as fast as I can.
I can post photos if anyone is interested.
