Cirelaw,
That same McQueen shot you posted from The Great Escape has been my avatar for many years. Nice shot of him.

Watched the movie "Gorky Park" last night. A Luger figured prominently in a couple of scenes including one in which it was used to kill an individual in a Russian bath house.

All Quiet On the Western Front (1930) has a quick showing of a luger.

The Spanish TV series "Jaguar" has many scenes with a Luger. It has fancy grips with an E/S on it.

In one scene on a beach, the Luger is being shot but there is a slide moving straight back and straight forward. Obviously a Luger in appearance only.

Anybody know the name of that one?
Sounds like 'Band of Brothers' when they were at Bastonge

Note, that the toggle of this pistol is not locked. This may be the result of a Luger which has been modified to fire a blank with just enough power to operate the toggle and eject the case. and chamber a new blank round.

There is a series on PBS Masterpiece that I found on Amazon Prime called “World on Fire” on season one shows Polish underground luring unsuspecting German soldiers with a pretty girl into a compromising position and then executing them using a Luger. Good series.

A luger is used in a duel
by a Texas Oilman, Charles Delarco (Robert Mitchum) with an English Earl Victor Rhyall (Cary Grant), who has a Webley Mk IV .38 revolver, in the movie "The Grass is Greener" (1960).

Star Wars: The rise of Skywalker (2019) was on TV this week.
It features an English actor Daisy Ridley shooting a laser pistol that appears to be a modified luger.
At least it has the toggle grips and slanted grip...you decide !

The French TV Series "Murder In ..." frequently has Lugers, all (supposedly) captured by the Resistance during WWII. Subtitle series has each murder in a different area of France and shows the highlights of that area. Old Castles and fortifications, cathedrals, cave systems etc.

A Luger is the murder weapon used in the first season of the Marlow Murder Club on PBS this week.
I am still trying to get a closeup of the 9mm brass, but the head stamp looked very fanciful.

The pistol didn't get a close-up until the last episode (#4).
It's an interesest mixed parts pistol.
