A very small number of P-08 Parabellum (Luger) pistols were manufactured by DWM in .45 ACP for testing by the US Army in the early 1900's. They were found to be unreliable, and the M1911 pistol was adopted instead. An original .45 cal. P-08 would be worth close to a million dollars if one were available for sale. There are only two examples known to exist today, one at the Springfield Armory, the other in the Norton Gallery in St. Louis.
A custom shop made 100 .45 ACP Lugers in the 1990's; all were presold prior to manufacturing these.
The .45 caliber Luger was not a P.08, as P.08 was the designation given to the 4" 9mm Luger adopted by the German army in 1908.
Two of the .45 Lugers were sent to Springfield Armory in 1907 for testing in preparation for the upcoming pistol trials. The .45 Luger passed the tests at Springfield Armory, and an order for 200 of the pistols was issued to DWM, the manufacturer. The order for the 200 .45 Lugers was rejected by DWM, so the Luger never made it to the field trials.
One of the .45 Lugers was owned by Sidney Aberman for many years until it was sold around 1995. The only other original .45 Luger is on public display in the Norton Gallery in Shreveport, Louisiana.
The copies of the .45 Luger are made by Mike Krause in California, and are still being made.

What else can I help you with?
With what materials was the Luger p08 pistol made?
Oh, dude, the Luger P08 pistol was typically made with steel, wood, and a bit of German engineering magic. Like, they really knew how to put together a gun that looked classy while also being deadly efficient. So, yeah, steel and wood were the main ingredients for that bad boy.
Why is the Luger P08 so popular?
The Luger was a very precision crafted firearm, the grip angle feels extremely natural, the 9mm cartridge had a decent amount of power, they were seen as desirable war trophies, and they simply look sexy to many people. However, I still prefer my 1911A1 in 45 ACP.
Why was the German 9 mm pistol so unreliable?
If you are referring to the P08 Luger in 9mm, it was less than reliable under combat situaltions due to the finely machined parts- it worked QUITE well- until you dragged it through mud and dirt.

because your luger has been nickel plated the value has been depleted. however, it is still a 'shooter' and as such has some value, perhaps $500 or so......
