New Chinese Parabellum
Hi All:
Over ten years ago, I read an article in the Deutsches Waffen Journal regarding a prototype, examined by the author, of a 9mm P-08 clone being produced in China for export sale. Has anyone else heard of such a pistol, and if so, where? Sieger |

I've never heard of a Chinese-produced Luger but wouldn't it be nice if they did? They're one country that could make them at a reasonable price.

I guess it would compare to the other firearms being currently made there. The old steel used in their M98 copies often sucked!! Sieger PS: We can't import them anyway, so it won't really matter. |

Now the Dems are trying to blame the Republicans for "out sourcing". Wonders never cease!!! Sieger |

Thor
The Feb/Mar 2004 issue of Handguns has a translation of the marks. They did a review of the gun in the Oct/Nov 2003 issue... On the right side of the receiver it says "1929 made in Shansei, Republic of China". The other side caused some confusion. One person came up with "Model 17" while an article from American Rifleman in 1948 said in meant "Seventh Year" which equals 1918. Some noted that the characters of the two guns were similar but slightly different. The article said some mystery will prevail...

It should be read from the right to the left (starting from the barrel side). The first five signs means "18 years after the last emperor" = year 1912, the remaining signs means a name, maybe Shang Sei. If you have anything else, please post me a picture, I am presently a director of a large water project and the Contractor is a Chinese company. Franz |
