Luger designations

Roadkill · 05-20-2003, 09:40 PM

Been roaming around again, came up on this website:

http://www.mek-schuetzen.de/Sites/na...s_handguns.htm

It has four diagrams for Lugers: An 08 Old, an 08, 08 3, and 08 4. The first is the grip safety, another has a long barrel, can't discern a difference in the others. Something I'm not seeing?

Roadkill and Borchardt Fans,
On the same site, Check "Borchardt", There is a very good breakdown of the "OLD ONE" Quite large and clean looking!!

John S,
As Moderator, You got Pull, Do you think that we can get Permission to place this with the Luger Breakdown for comparison?

I am not sure what a .png file is, so I saved that Borchardt diagram as a bitmap for my own reference files. It was over 14 Mb! So I converted it to a .jpg, and it ended up just a little over 0.5 Mb. Quite a difference.
