WWII P08 K98 Instruction Manual
Hello Guys,
I have just received this interesting official WWII booklet concerning the K98 and P08. The booklet describes in 40 pages the K98 and the P08. Technical descriptions, use, maintenance and so on. What is really nice is that it contains two cut-away colors table of the K98 and P08. A German company specialized in the translation of old German manual into English asked me of producing an English translation of this booklet. I have accepted therefore in the next months I will participate with these gentleman to produce a booklet close to my original but in English. I guess a really nice experience. I will let you know when the translated booklet will be available in case you would like to order a copy. For the moment enjoy the photosâ?¦ Cheers, Mauro

Hi Mauro,
Nice. They republished it just after the war. I have a post-WW2 version of the same booklet. Nice stuff. |

Hi Guys,
I have start working on it. I am scanning all the pages and providing them to the German expert that will translate the book into English. According to the German translator, he needs a couple of months. Actually this guy is a teacher and does this work in the free time. I will let you know when the booklet will be available. Cheers, Mauro

The eagle and swastika stamp are interesting; they appear to be early SS. Is the booklet dated?

Tom,
The booklet is undated but the first page is partially cut. Maybe the date was written on this page. The name of the owner is still on the book as well as the unit: "Sturm 7/249" or "Sturm 7S249". I guess that DV means "Dienst Vorschrift". I keep note of the people interested. Cheers, Mauro

Now available...
Hello friends,
The booklet has been translated into English. You can order the booklet in the web site of the translator. In addition there are several more booklets and manuals translated. I found very well translated the 1917 LP08 + TM08 manual (see picture). The web site is: http://www.germanmanuals.com/index.html

Hello Mauro,
I've been looking for a Luger Manual erverywhere but could not find anything in nice printable quality. If by chance you've already scanned it, might it be possible to obtain a copy "as is" in german language? Actually I'd prefer to have the german version. Maybe you could provide it as PDF-document? Greetings from Germany, Thomas |

Hello Thomas and Bob,
I have high quality scans of the 44 pages of the booklet. If you wish, I can copy them into a CD-ROM and then post to you. If interested please contact me. My email is: m.baudino@libero.it You can have an overview of all the pages in my web site: http://www.lugerlp08.com and then click on: "WWII K98 P08 Booklet". This page use a JAVA applet to give the possibility to see all the pages. It means that you need to download the JAVA run time environment. Most probably you already have this feature on your computer if not you can refer to the link: http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp to download it. Have fun... Mauro
