Gold Luger - Does Anyone Know Anything About This Luger

alvin · 05-18-2015, 09:35 PM

Just re-read Preface and Chapter I of "Parabellum is back 1945-2000" (just ordered such a pistol, not arrived yet). The book explained the exotic word "Parabellum" -- it's DWM's brand name. To promote this brand, DWM adopted it as the company's telegraph address. Make lots of sense.

Bought the pistol, partially because it worked great in my memory, partially because I have this book

Reading a gun book without a sample in hand is a little bit boring..

Positive, as Alvin and Vlim explained: "Parabellum, Berlin"

How cool! Kinda like Steinway's stock symbol of "LVB" for Luwig Van Beethoven!
