The P-08 Parabellum Luger Automatic Pistol;

Luger - the very word conjures up visions of a stalemate in the trenches in 19117, or a guerrilla action with captured weapons by French Resistance fighters in Fortress Europe or a silenced "hit" in the alleys of Istanbul, Port Said or Budapest as communism and democracy locked horns in the Cold War which followed the fall of the Third Reich, The Luger has a mystique unequaled by that of any other handgun.
