Luger semi-auto BB gun

It might help to put it in a box with a bunch of old files and metal parts, and shake the whole thing around until you're happy with the result! I had a friend who made rustic pine cobblers' benches. He'd scrub down the wear points with a file, whack them with chains and stones to give them a little "age" One of the finishing touches involved giving his 2 1/2 yr. old a hammer...
But, to be period correct, you need a gnarly wood bottom.

What brand/maker is your airgun? It looks different from my Umarex brand. How difficult was it to fit those P08 aftermarket grips from Australia to your airgun?

It is a Umarex, but I distressed it with patience and synthetic wire wool.

The grips took a bit of effort with a dremel. Be careful of the area around the safety, the wood gets pretty thin there. Most of the wood of the grips needs to be removed. There is some delicate cutting to do round the protruding pins near the safety to allow the grips to sit flush. Definitely doable, if you have a dremel!

Your Umarex P08 is different from mine. The thumb saftey on yours is marked as S & F, where mine is marked like my original P08s (in German). Are your side plate, toggle, etc numbered? Mine is numbered. Must be different models out floating around.

It was in the fire position; when I engage the safety it is written in German. All the numbers match (I had to say that

), and are 15. These are made in Taiwan and branded as Umarex, but are also sold under different brands, so differences could well exist.

Mine was made by Walther. "AC" is clearly stamped on the toggle!

Since Umarex owns Walther they can do that.
