First Mauser Luger P-08 9mm

veeger · 08-11-2014, 07:24 PM

This is my first "Luger" acquired via America Remembers.

I do have a Fromme captured by my grandfather in WW1 (northern France) .32 cal. Apparently it is a one off. Doesn't use a trigger and never had one. Uses a bar on back of grip.

If I am asking this in the wrong place, please point me in the right direction.

What I would really like to know is what spare parts and what tools I should maintain?

What I have is the weapon, one magazine, a shoulder holster, a take down tool, a display case, and a box of 9mm parabellum ammo.

This newbie would appreciate any direction offered.

Welcome Newbie:
As far as spares and tools, I can't think of much except good cleaning supplies, screw drivers, etc. As for spares we hope you don't need them.
A couple of Mec-Gar magazines are very good for shooting, and some original mags. should not be used, specifically those with wooden bottoms.
Regular 9mm ammo, no +p, etc.
Post photos of the gun and mag. and we can be more specific.
Is your gun all matching with original finish? If so we may have another problem...
Later.
