The Mexican Luger
This video delves into the rare Mexican Luger, a variant tested by Mexico around 1903-1905 during Porfirio Diaz's modernization efforts. Although deemed satisfactory and considered for purchase by the Mexican Army for artillery and cavalry, the deal never materialized, likely due to political or financial issues. These Mexican property Lugers are distinguished by the "EJERCITO MEXICANO" inscription on the left side, applied in Mexico, not by DWM. They are otherwise standard Old Model Lugers, chambered in 7.65mm, and feature characteristic traits like dished toggles and a flat leaf mainspring.
