I just bought this Luger from a 85 Year old Austrian veteran who spent 2 years on the Russian front with the 519th Heavy Tank Battalion (still very lucid, the stories he told me were really fascinating, and hair raising!! He also described how most troops did not like the Luger, and really prefered the P38!!) .....this was not brought back by him, but purchased post war in Canada....he claims it could be a Luger made for the Japanese.... I think it is a custom gun that somebody put their initials on....it has P08 on the side plate??... grips that are numbered to the gun, yet I have never seen Luger grips like that...
