i have a number of them, both luger and broomhandle, including the "red nine" broomhandle. WWII and WWI.
some have the wood holsters/and should stocks.
the artillery luger was issued to a artillery unit in the bayerische division, WWI. Hitler's division. What is interesting as much as anything is the head of the artillery unit at that time was a distant relative, you might say it came home.
It was most likely at the battle of the somme.
and i have a smith carried by a scotsman and killed at the same battle. it is documented to him.
so two handguns, two different sides of the fence.
The broomhandles shoot just fine. Assuming a safety modification was done. if that bolt stop breaks, it generally would hit you between the eyeballs.
I have never seen one, but some were select fire too.
the lugers were nice, but expensive to make and were not really good combat weapons in the mud of russia, with tha top spring coming back and getting jammed with mud etc.
the p38 which came next was a much superior weapon.
none of this stuff is cheap anymore, but the 32round mag and the loading device for it are particularly pricy.
