Lugers in the Boer War?

Levallois · 05-16-2008, 11:19 AM

Does anyone have documented evidence that the model 1900 Old Model Luger was used in the Boer War on either side? That war lasted until 1902 and Dwight Gruber writes in his excellent research on the early guns that "7,147 Old Model Commercial Parabellums had been manufactured" (by October 1901). So, it's within the realm of possibility. I'd appreciate any evidence or suggestions on where to look for this info. - Thanks!
