Download or read book Luger written by John Walter and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-02-13 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The distinctive look of the Luger and its role in German military history make it the world’s most famous handgun. In Luger, renowned gun expert John Walter traces the history of this semiautomatic pistol from an early design by Hugo Borchardt in the 1890s through its use in the trenches of the First World War to the final days of the Third Reich in WWII. Other books on the Parabellum-Pistole, as the Luger was also known, focus strictly on narrow subjects like manufacturing details or accessories. While still offering the technical details to satisfy the collector, Walter provides a comprehensive narrative history. Readers will learn of the initial collaboration between Borchardt and Georg J. Luger, who patented the design in 1898. Following initial adoption by the Swiss Army, design refinements convinced the Imperial German Navy to order the sidearm, while the US Army passed on it following field trials in favor of the Colt. Production ramped up for World War I and the gun became a prized trophy for Allied soldiers in both that conflict and World War II. (German soldiers, aware of their desirability, even used them as bait for booby traps.) Today, it is still desired by collectors both for its unique design and for its connection to the history of Nazi Germany, and Luger: The Story of the World’s Most Famous Handgun tells how it came to be.

Download or read book Mauser Rifles, Vol. 2: 1918-1945 written by Luc Guillou and published by Schiffer Military History. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second of two volumes on Mauser rifles, this full-color, illustrated book presents the design, manufacturing, development, and combat use of the various models from 1918 through World War II. Post-WWI manufacturers defined the characteristics of a future German regulation rifle derived from the WWI-era Gewehr 98. After the Nazi accession of the German government, the improved version of the Gewehr 98 was adopted in 1934 under the designation "K98k." This book presents the various models of this famous rifle, as well as the changes made to its manufacture during the Second World War. Details include close-up views of markings, as well as a serial numbers list, and a visual breakdown of the weapons. Accessories such as ammunition, ammo pouches, bayonets, magazines, scopes, and cleaning kits are featured throughout the book, as are rarely seen combat-related uniform and equipment items.

Download or read book The Luger written by Neil Grant and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-09-20 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patented in 1898 and produced from 1900, Georg Luger's iconic semi-automatic pistol became synonymous with Germany's armed forces throughout both world wars. Initially chambered for the 7.65×21mm round, from 1902 the Luger was designed for DWM's 9×19mm round, which even today remains the most popular military handgun cartridge. It was adopted by the Imperial German Navy in 1904, followed by the German Army in 1908, receiving the name Pistole 08. Despite being supplanted by the Walther P38, the Luger remained in widespread service with all arms of Nazi Germany's armed forces throughout World War II, and even equipped East Germany's Volkpolizei in the years after 1945. Featuring full-colour artwork, expert analysis and archive and present-day photographs, this engaging study tells the story of the Luger, the distinctive and deadly semi-automatic pistol that has come to symbolize Germany's armed forces in the 20th century.

Download or read book Walther Pistols written by John Walter and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-04-28 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the PP and PPK were intended for police work, the Walther P 38 was produced for the Germany military; all three pistols have garnered a formidable international reputation since the 1930s. The innovative Walther PP (Polizeipistole), a double-action semi-automatic pistol intended for the law-enforcement market, became available in 1929 and went on to arm the police of several European countries in the 1930s. Its smaller cousin the PPK, more readily concealed for undercover work but with reduced magazine capacity, was produced from 1931. Intended to replace the P 08 Luger, the Walther P 38 was issued from 1940 and equipped the armed forces of Germany and other countries during and after World War II, but never entirely replaced the Luger in German service. All three pistols went on to have lengthy and varied service across the world after 1945. Both the PP and the PPK remain in production today, while the P 38 re-emerged as the P1 and equipped West German forces from 1963 until 2004, when it was replaced by the P8. In this study, noted authority John Walter assesses the origins, development, use and legacy of these three high-profile semi-automatic pistols, alongside other Walther variants, such as the tiny .25 ACP Modell 9.

Download or read book The Wartime P. 38 Pistols written by Dave Shike and published by . This book was released on 2018-05-02 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book illustrates a sampling of German 1945-produced P.38 pistols. The Allied Air Campaign and fighting on three fronts had drained Germany of its resources and production capacity. Nevertheless, last gasp efforts were made to continue producing P.38 pistols. These pistols were assembled by using recycled parts from damaged pistols, formerly rejected military parts, and assembling spare parts from armorers' repair kits. Efforts to use a low cost and faster method of finishing parts and entire P.38 pistols was also done. Some of the pistols illustrated in this book have generally not been seen before. For many reasons they are not typically included in standard firearms texts. The author has made an attempt to introduce these previously overlooked pistols Not every type of 1945 P.38 pistol is included in this book, however, noteworthy examples that may have been previously overlooked as historical or collectable are included. This late war attempt to provide P.38 pistols for the Wehrmacht and teh Volkssturm produced some very unusual pistols; a number of which are not traditionally recognized by the public or collectors. The SchutzSlaffel (SS) overseers that drove slave labor to assemble trhese pistols went to great extremes to hide their origin. The slave workers were often sent to extermination camps in the very last weeks of the war. The potential details of how, when, and where these pistols were assembled is also explored. More questions may be raised by this book than are answered. Collectors, history buffs, and historians will hopefully be inspired from this text to help solve these mysteries. Enjoy the unusual P.38 pistols on the pages within and remember all the answers are yet to be found!
