Göring's Platinum Lugers
This video explores Hermann Göring's highly personalized and ornate Luger pistols. Manufactured by Krieghoff and identified by specific serial number ranges and a presentation marking dated August 15, 1939, these P08 Lugers were plated in platinum, engraved, and fitted with ivory grips. While intended as gifts for associates, their exact recipients remain unknown. The video highlights their documented provenance, with many ending up as souvenirs brought home by US servicemen after WWII. It also references "The Krieghoff Parabellum" by Randall Gibson as a key resource for further information and thanks Legacy Collectibles for providing access to film the pistol.
