    Artillery luger

    I don't know if this is the correct forum to ask this. But I have in my possession an artillery Luger (long barrel) with holster , wooden detachable shoulder piece and drum loader (is it called that ?). I'm not sure if they used them in WO 2 ?
    But my question is , what is the value of this set nowadays?

    What is the date? Has it been deactivated? What is it's condition? They weren't used during WW2 and are very collectible, especially the accessories. If you can post as many pics as possible it would help a lot.

      Gene , I can have pics tomorrow , but I'm not able to post any , is it alright if I send them to you and you post them ?
      I can't recall the date of the weapon 1915 or 17 ? (I'm not a home right now so I can't check it)
      It's a working weapon (I have a non-fire permit) and in prime condition.

        Hi Deadshead,
        You likley have an Artilery Luger (adjustable rear sight) and the 1917 model is one of the most common made. They were asigned to MG teams and of course artiley crews in forward posistions during WWI. These are highley collectable depending on condition.

        I can help you post photos. Email me at Hallrunners@aol.com

            Although the LP08 was used extensively in the first war, a limited number also saw service in the second war. Value depends on condition, date of manufacture and presence of any unique markings. If the pistol and the stock have the same serial number the value increases significantly. An original snail drum loader is worth about $800 in the US.

              Apparently the wooden shoulder piece isn't for the luger , I photographed it to be sure , I think it's for a mauser. I send the photos to the mail adress below so I hope this kind person will post them soon. I inherited this weapon from my dad , 9 years ago and it has seldom seen the light of day , I hope that one day I can give it a beautiful place in my hobby room , which I haven't got to this date
              I know he bought the snail drum on a flea market in Heist op den Berg for about 4000 belgian francs which corresponds to about 100 euros , this was about 1990. The gun is dated 1917 and the holster 1916. But the pictures will tell the whole story.

              In which arm did they saw service in the second world war ?

                I believe that LP08s were used throughout the Wehrmacht during the second war. I have a "double date" Erfurt LP08 that is marked on the rear grip strap to a Kriegsmarine unit. While uncommon, such pistols are not rare. In my collection there is also a "EWB" marked LP08 that is thought to have been captured in France or Belgium prior to December of 1944.

                1917 dated LP08s are, far and away, the most common and consequently the least valuable. A 95% 1917 LP08 in the US might bring $1500 from a collector in the current market. I will send you a private message so that you can email me directly as I have a correspondent in Belgium who collects LP0s, perhaps he can help you.
