A Banner Quartet

gunbugs · 02-01-2021, 01:56 AM

Was rooting through the safe, as I was installing LED lights,(what a great idea), and rounded up my 4 Banner police P-08's. 1 from each year 1939 through 1942, all with one matching mag. (The earlier years are pretty scarce). I thought they would make a nice group. Now I just need a police shako to go with them......http://forum.lugerforum.com/attachme...1&d=1612158918

Beautiful group of Police Banners. Love the holsters too!

If you don't mind checking, which years have grips numbered to the gun? Do the three from 1940-42 have fxo stamped magazines?
Thanks, Tom

Just the '41 has numbered grips. I'll have to check the mags.

Very nice rigs! And consecutive years too!
Beautiful!!

Would be interesting to check the other grips to see if they are numbered. My 1917 DWM has numbered grips but these numbers are not obvious- one really has to look carefully for them. But they're there- no doubt!

Even though made after 1918

those are indeed drool worthy! Great guns!
