This 1918 Luger is characterized by the 9mm 4' (100mm) barrel however it appears from the front of the frame it was at one time destined to be an artillery model as the cut in the front of the frame was for the leaf sight. Erfurt started this practice in 1914 when they produced the artillery (150mm barrel) model and simply made all the frames the same. The rear sight is 'V' cut fixed and front dovetailed sight and the frame has the stock lug and hold open device. This model of the Luger was produced from 1914 until 1918 for the German Military. The extractor is marked 'Geladen' (loaded) and the thumb safety is marked 'Gesichert' (safe). | |
