Imperial German WWI 1915 DWM Long P.08 Artillery Luger 9mm 8” Semi-Auto Pistol. The top of the front sight to the left of the blade, top of the rear sight base, the rear face of the sight leaf, the left rear of the sight arm, the right side of the slider, the sear bar, the sear bar safety, the extractor, the top of the front toggle, the back of the rear toggle, the left of the bolt, the left of the firing pin, and the slide stop are marked “33”. The left of the extractor is marked “GELADEN”. The left of the barrel extension is marked “2733”. The top of the front toggle is also marked with “DWM” in script. The chamber ring is marked “1915” at the top. The underside of the round part of the barrel is marked “2733 / a / 8,83”, and the front end of the frame just beneath it is marked “2733 / a”. The right side of the chamber is marked with three crowned script letters and an Eagle. The Eagle is also marked on the bottom of the magazine in the wood. The left side of the frame under the safety is marked “GESICHERT”. Sights / Optics: The front sight is a serrated blade dovetailed to a serrated, ramped base fixed to the muzzle. The windage can be fine-tuned via a spanner wrench screw adjustment on the right of the base. The tangent artillery rear sight is flat topped with a “V” notch and the elevator has graduated markings from 1-8. The elevation can be fine-tuned via a spanner wrench screw adjustment. The sights are known as the “Fine Tuning” Artillery Sights. The “Artillery Luger” was introduced in July 1913 and primarily issued to artillery crews, though it was also “scrounged” by early German aviators. The Artillery Luger was distinguished by its 8” barrel, 4” longer than the standard model, and was equipped with more precise sights than the standard P.08. It could also be fitted with the 32 round “snail drum” magazine for considerable firepower. During the Great War, the Artillery Luger was designated for use by “Sturmtruppen”, the elite German assault infantry units formed in 1916 to break the stalemate on the Western Front by breaching the Allied lines in nightly trench raids. Originally produced with “Fine Tuning” front and rear sights, by early 1917 DWM had eliminated the fine adjustment of the front sight, and in late 1917, the fine adjustment for the rear sight was discontinued as well.
