I ran 150 of my reloads and two magazines of WWB this past weekend. It ran flawless.
What a fun shooting gun!

I have had two 'mismatched' lugers (top and bottom different) but not as close as yours - maybe from a long time ago, maybe from a collector with luck or bad eyesight!

"Almost" matching numbers!

P08Leder · 11-09-2015, 10:22 PM

Probably paid more than I should have, but they don't make them anymore

You didn't pay too much, if it is what you wanted, shoots reliably, and makes you happy!! Life is too short. Enjoy.

P08Leder · 11-10-2015, 03:37 PM

Oh I am very happy.
They print new money every day, but they aren't making new P08s.
Very fun gun to shoot.
But now I have the bug and am lusting for am artillery

Your're right, seems a good shooter, just avoid heavy loads, shoot safe.
