Historical Background

The Parabellum pistol, or Model 1908 (P08), popularly known as the Luger, is a semi-automatic pistol driven by recoil that survived the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles. It uses an internal slider operated by an articulated arm, unlike the external slider common in almost all other semiautomatic pistols—a unique design that set it apart from its contemporaries.

Designed by Georg Luger in 1898 and produced by the German arms factory Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken (DWM) from 1900, the Luger P08 became one of the most influential handgun designs in history. During its service life, the Luger P08 passed through the hands of several manufacturers who produced more than one million units of this mythical pistol that marked a before and after in the history of short weapons.

Although the first models were manufactured in 7.65x21 caliber Parabellum, the Model 1908 is famous for being the pistol for which the 9x19 Parabellum cartridge was developed—a round that remains one of the most popular handgun calibers in the world today. The denomination "Parabellum" comes from the old Latin saying "Si vis pacem, para bellum" ("If you want peace, prepare for war").

The Parabellum Luger pistol became legendary thanks to its use by Germany during the First and Second World Wars. It was highly sought after by soldiers throughout the 20th century and remains one of the most collectible military firearms to this day.
