    OK OK and???????????????????????? If I had a feedblock but I don't. I bought a lot from Manions back in 94. I was in Germany getting ready for the 50th Anniversary of D-Day.

    Great P08 Lugers, Mr Wiliams!

    Here is a machine gunner Militaerpass with a Luger entry.

    Selbstladepistole (automatic pistol)

    The man was awarded the Iron Cross and twice promoted for "bravery in the face of the enemy". I will write more on this MG gunner in another thread.

    Ed. Thank you for the detailed information. I do appreciate it.

    You're quite welcome, Coastie. Sharing information, experience and knowledge is what makes a place like here what it is. I don't hang around a place that doesn't. As I said, I'm no expert and there are many who know so much more than me but I'll share what I do know.

    Also, some of what I say is an opinion and ya know what they say about opinions and everybody having one................. :D

    Cheers

    Looks good to me, Eric. With that ser#, you got one of the originals from the Erfurt contract for that year and it's not really in bad shape at all. How is the bore and grooves? Awaiting photos of that MG holster, I've not seen a MG unit marked holster.

    Ed

    BTW, I'm presently in talks about a 1911 Erfurt Bavarian 6th Res Rgt MG luger, comes with extras too.

    (PSSSST!!!!! I don't have any smilies again......................)

    I just stepped out of my MG Luger portfolio and acquired a Luger that I just couldn't pass up. A very exceptional example of a 1910 1st Issue DWM. This luger is all original including the grips. The magazine is un-numbered but time period correct magazine. Original blue and straw that rates 96-98%. It is unit marked as "13.T.S.2.179. which is translated to mean...13th Trains Sanitates Bn 2nd Company weapon #179. It was a Wurttemberg FWD Medical Bn. Before 1914 it was a battalion, from 1914 on, the companies became Detachments. This Battalion would have supported a Division with combat medics, doctors, field hospital, wagons and horses. A "Sanitatskompanie des Trainbataillons" would have had 259 PO-8 Lugers assigned to 222 combat medics, 1 to a Feldwebel, 1 to it's Vizefeldwebel, 18 to Unterofficiers, 9 to Sanitatesunterofficiers and 8 to the militarkrankenwarter. What Wurttemberg Div it supported I've yet to research.

    I'll have this Luger hopefully by the weekend. Until then, here are some photos from the site. My beloved Bavarian MG unit marked Luger will have to wait for a bit longer.
