Description

This is a 1918 Erfurt Arsenal P08 Luger pistol, one of the most iconic sidearms of World War I. Produced in Germany during the final year of the war, it features the distinctive toggle-lock action and classic grip angle that made the Luger one of the most recognizable pistols in history.

The pistol bears the crown/Erfurt stamp on the toggle and retains visible imperial proof marks throughout. Serial number 6865 with “65” visible on small parts confirms matching numbers across the major components, a key factor in collector desirability. The blued finish shows age-appropriate wear with patina and handling marks consistent with a service-issued pistol that saw use.

As a wartime production piece from Erfurt, this Luger is a true collector’s firearm. It represents both the technical ingenuity of early 20th-century German arms design and a tangible piece of World War I history.
