Another artillery

[Plastikosmd]

Another artillery. I like these. 1915, all match #, stock etc. drum, 1 gen, appropriate for year. At some point maybe I will locate a loading tool and leather drum case, won't hold my breath! Still a nice set

That is sweet. I had heard of them, but never saw one before. Why the drum mag?

Here is a quick read
http://www.lugerlp08.com/the%20artillery%20luger%20-%20introductory%20article.htm

I just think they are unique, a niche gun that the sbr of today fill.

A luger, with a longer barrel, adjustable front and rear sight( with a rear sight that is a small ladder type sight (graduated out to 800m with even a slight offset to compensate for the spin imparted to the bullet!), a cool holster, cleaning rod/takedown/sight tool and a stock that easily mounts and is stored as part of the kit. Then drum magazine for trench warfare/ storm troopers etc. even used in aerial fights, shooting plane engines!

For me, the Swiss Army knife solution - weapon system but of ww1.

[bob208]

are you going to research the mans name in the holster ?

[John Allen]

This is one of my wish list guns. Someday.

[Gunor]

Are you going to shoot it?

What cast boolit?

Just kidding - not really.

I won't be shooting this one, sad as it is one of my only safe queen atm. I don't want a # part to break, a .50$ part could cost 2-3k of value. I will shoot the other using the drum etc. I have a remanufactured stock and holster to go with the shooter

[Plastikosmd]

Yes, I want to try and figure out the handwriting inside

[StrawHat]

From what I understand, several Luger collectors offer a service of finding the correctly numbered parts if you need one.

[Plastikosmd]

Thx straw, they do, there are also those that will remake/stamp the part so it appears original. I bought 2 so I had a shooter. My shooter finish is a bit more rough. It also has aftermarket accoutrements ( stock/ holster etc.) - fine for shooting. Otherwise a # match gun minus magazine

Brings back great memories of a friend in the 5th grade showing me his identical set
that his grandfather had brought back from WW1. That would have been about
1959. Think about it - it was only 41 years from the end of WW1 then, and we
just had 70 yrs from D-Day.. . . . . . . I'm getting old, I suppose.

Anyway, that set is VERY cool.
