P08 book - Opinions

byf43 · 05-27-2006, 07:33 AM

I am a beginner when it comes to P08s and have yet to buy my first book on the subject. I'm mainly interested in the 1933-1945 period, but a little background info on other P08s (export models, WWI, middle years) would be nice also. It's not just information on how to identify certain variants of P08s (markings etc.) but also background stories on the factories that made them and what end users who got the pistols.

What book can you recommend? I've heard that Lugers at Random should be a good all round book? Please share your opinions.
