This video explores a Luger pistol with an exceptionally long and varied history, tracing its journey through 20th-century German events. Initially a 1917 DWM production firearm used in WWI, it was later remarked for Weimar Republic police and military, featuring a temporary police safety. It continued in German service through WWII, subsequently being issued to the Volkspolizei in Soviet-occupied East Berlin, receiving new Haenel magazines. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, it was recovered from a Stasi arms depot and reproofed for the modern commercial market, now owned by a European collector who recognized its historical markings.
