1916 WWI German DWM, LP.08 Artillery Luger, 9mm Luger, Semi-Auto (Numbers Matching), SN - 9781

Lot # 24

In 1908, the German Army adopted the Model P.08 Luger to replace the Reich's revolver in front-line service. The P.08 Luger is well known for its use by Germany and other...more axis powers during World War I and World War II, along with the interwar Weimar Republic and the postwar East German Volkspolizei. The Luger is a toggle-lock action semi-automatic pistol that uses a jointed arm to lock, as opposed to the slide actions of many other semi-automatic pistols, such as the M1911. The adoption of the Lange Pistole 08 or LP 08, known as the "Artillery Luger", was authorized by the Kaiser on July 2nd, 1913. This P08 variation was equipped with a 7.9" barrel, an 8-position tangent rear sight (calibrated to 870 yds) 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. Production of the LP 08 ended in 1918 with the end of the WWI. By that time, German troops had begun using the newly developed MP 18 submachine gun in place of the LP 08 for their stormtrooper assault companies. This LP 08 Artillery Luger was made by the German arms manufacturer Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken (DWM) in 1916 and features a 7.9" barrel, checkered walnut grips and appears to be all "numbers matching" with the exception of the magazine (wood bottom magazine marked "544 d" is period correct.) This gun is showing some wear, to include surface pitting at the muzzle, but overall is in good condition with light battle wear, has a sharp/ clean bore and appears to be in good working order. This gun does not include the original shoulder stock/ holster, but there will be a nice modern reproduction stock/ holster selling later in this auction.

WWII German FN Browning, High Power (Pistole 640b), 9mm Luger, SN - 196382

Lot # 28

Relatively few weapons were used by both Allied and Axis forces in World War Two. However, one handgun was virtually unique in that it was used by British and German forc...morees who faced each other in combat – the Browning High Power pistol. The version originally sold by Fabrique Nationale Herstal (FN) from 1935 was identified as the “High Power.“ In 1954, the pistol was marketed through the Browning Arms Company (BAC) in the US, a subsidiary of FN. At that point, it became the “Hi-Power” to distinguish it from the High-Power hunting rifle also sold by BAC. The original design work on what would become the High Power pistol was started in the early 1920s in response to a French military requirement for a Grande Puissance (High Power) sidearm. This didn’t refer to the shooting power of the pistol, but to a requirement for a magazine which held at least ten rounds of 9mm ammunition – more than any contemporary semi-automatic service pistol. In response to the French requirement and on behalf of FN, John Browning produced and designed this full-size military sidearm with a locked-breech recoil system and a double column, sixteen-round magazine. By the early 1930s, he had produced a revised design for a single-action pistol with a double-stack magazine holding up to thirteen 9mm Parabellum rounds and featuring a complex trigger mechanism which extended up into the area of the slide in an attempt to keep the grip as slim as possible. The design was completed in 1935 and FN released it as the FN Model 1935. Around 35,000 High Power pistols were manufactured in Belgium up to 1939 and were largely used by Britain/ France, although Belgium was officially neutral in WWII. On May 10th, 1940, German forces invaded Belgium and the FN plant was captured virtually intact. At this time, FN Herstal continued to build guns for the Allied forces by moving their production line to a John Inglis and Company plant in Canada. In Belgium, the Nazis installed managers and technicians from Deutsche Waffen-und Munitionsfabriken (DWM), at FN Herstal, and used this as a production facility for ammunition and weapons, including the High Power pistol, re-designated the “Pistole 640(b)". Detailed records are very difficult to find, but it seems that the German 640(b) "High Power" was not issued to troops in the Wehrmacht (German Army), though it was provided to units of the Waffen-SS, the Brandenburg special forces battalion, and to combat units of the Luftwaffe including Fallschirmjäger (paratroopers). German adoption of the High Power was partly down to the fact that this pistol used the same cartridge as the two other main German service pistols of the period: the Luger and the Walther P-38. This Belgium FN Browning High Power (640b) is Nazi marked and features a 4.64" barrel, checkered walnut grips, serrated slide, round serrated hammer, dovetailed rear sight and 13-round magazine. This gun is in good condition with light wear, has a sharp/ clean bore and appears to be in good working order. Duane “Jim” Smith Estate
