Denix Replica Parabellum Luger P08 Pistol Germany 1898 with Wooden Grips - Ref. M-1143

The Parabellum Luger P08 Pistol, a symbol of military history, was designed in 1898 by Georg Luger. Produced by Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken (DWM) from 1900, this semi-automatic pistol was revolutionary for its recoil mechanism and internal articulated slide, different from the external slides of other semi-automatic pistols. Known for its use in the World Wars, this P08 model stood out for the development of the 9x19 Parabellum cartridge【

The Denix M-1143 replica is a faithful reproduction of this legendary weapon. Made of metal and wooden grips, it offers a simulated loading and firing mechanism with a removable magazine. The dimensions of the replica are 25.5 cm in length and a weight of 980 g, closely replicating the original dimensions of the Parabellum

The Parabellum Luger P08 was adopted by the Swiss army in 1900 and the German army in 1908, replacing the M1879 Reichsrevolver. It was produced in Germany by DWM and, during World War II, by other companies such as Mauser Werke. The artillery version of the Parabellum, the Lange Pistole 08, had a 200 mm barrel and was used as a personal defense weapon for gunners

Despite being obsolete in several aspects, the Parabellum remains highly sought after by collectors, valued both for its sleek design and its historical connection to Imperial Germany and Nazi Germany. This Denix M-1143 replica allows enthusiasts and collectors to own a piece of military history, with exceptional attention to detail and quality.
