German WWI Early Reproduction Artillery Luger Wood Stock with Attaching Iron - Lange Pistole 08
-
Early Reproduction Item: This is a lovely early reproduction wood stock for the Luger Lange Pistole 08, usually referred to as the "Artillery Luger." The stock likely dates to the 1950s/1960s. This P08 variation was equipped with a 200 mm (7.9 in) barrel, an 8-position tangent rear sight (calibrated to 800 meters (870 yd)) and a board-type shoulder stock with an attached leather holster. In the event of close combat, the pistol was intended to be used as a carbine with the shoulder stock attached to a lug mounted on the heel of the pistol frame. When set for long range use the rear sight element visibly moves to the left to compensate for spin drift. While initially intended for use by German artillery units who could not be encumbered by the long and heavy K.98 rifle, the LP 08 was also used by Aviation units (prior to equipping aircraft with machine guns) as well as the Infantry, primarily on the Western front during World War I.
The wood color and finish is very good, and the attaching iron is still present, and fully functional. There are no markings as is correct for a reproduction.
This is an excellent opportunity to get an old reproduction stock for an Artillery Luger that has lost its original one. Certainly looks the part!
