1940 Luger Military identification

bbro1 · 08-13-2023, 04:02 PM

Hey guys, new here and my first post, looking for help identifying and possibly value of my 1940 stamped Luger, I have the pistol, both magazines and leather Holter, all are matching serial #s and every piece of the pistol matches, the Eagle and swastika markings are what I am looking for help in with the gun.

You have a Mauser Banner police contract pistol. Far less police P.08 pistols were produced than military contract guns. Looks in great condition, please post more images of the pistol with mags and holster. If that's your first, you did very well.

From what I am researching, maybe German police horse-mounted

Unfortunately, there is no way that can be determined.

Hi,
Is there a tool in the pouch in the holster?

Checking holster, didnt see the pocket under the top cover

1940 Eagle/C Police Banner with matching holster and tool. Awesome!
Now lets see pictures of the matching magazines!

Nice find bbro1! Thanks for sharing it with us. I have the police holster just 5 Lugers after yours, #2135. But mine did not come with the matching Luger, loading tool or mags.

Very cool, crazy 5 pieces apart, I may be incorrect, I thought I had 2 magazines that matched but after getting holster out, I may just have the one matching in the pistol, thought had a 2nd in holster, going to look further
