The WWII Commemorative Luger

For World War II GIs returning from the European Theater nearly 50 years ago, it was the most desirable war trophy they could bring back. The German “Luger,” as Americans called the Model P-08, was—and is, today—one of the most recognizable and respected firearms in world history. The American Historical Foundation is proud to bring you a special, firing, limited edition of “war trophy” pistols, specially finished to museum-grade, as a symbol of our victory. This is a special opportunity for World War II veterans and their families to own “the Luger you left behind.”

24-Karat Gold

Each Commemorative is finished to presentation grade, with a combination of mirror polishing and contrasting matte gloss plating and bluing. Commemorative tributes are etched and gold-gilt infilled on the presentation side of the frame, including the symbol of SHAEF, the overall command of the European Theater of Operations (ETO). In dramatic contrast to the black, 24-Karat Gold plating gleams across six components. The grips are beautiful select American Walnut, finished to museum grade. Each grip is fitted with a miniaturized version of the U.S.-awarded ETO campaign medal, finished with two-tone 24-Karat Gold plating. Only 750 will be made—your assurance of immediate collector value. The special limited edition registry number is engraved on the frame of each pistol and inscribed on the accompanying Certificate of Authenticity.

Fires 9mm

In addition to being beautiful, each fires readily-available 9mm ammunition. With each pistol comes a seven-round magazine.

Display Case

Also available is a custom made, luxuriously lined Display Case with locking glass lid and engraved identification plaque to display and protect your Tribute from dust and unauthorized handling.
