Germany used it in WWII and it was a prize for any allied solder to get it off of any German commander
The German luger came about early 1900's as the P08. It was used by German forces during WW1 and WW2. Basically there were 3 models: standard pistol with 4" barrel, the artillery model with (about) 8" barrel and the Naval model also with an 8' barrel. The difference between the artillery and naval model was that the artillery model had an elevated rear sight located to the rear of the barrel near the ejection port whereas the naval model had a rear sight similar to the standard model. Lugers came mostly in 9mm but also in 30 cal. luger..........................
