Georg Luger had been a serving military man and he knew how to create a practical design, and this design was simply brilliant. The full equipment of one of these pistols includes adjustable sights out to 800metres, a drift adjustable front sight, leather holster with wooden shoulder stock and magazine pouches, and even an optional “snail” magazine. The Artillery Luger with its 8″ barrel was first made for use by artillery units and airmen after the Kaiser approved them in July of 1913. This pistol has the shoulder stock fitting as can be seen at the heel of the grip. The Artillery Luger is commonly fitted for a detachable shoulder stock. But he could shoot well with the Luger equipped with a shoulder stock. The Kaiser had a withered arm and could not manage a conventional rifle. Georg Luger had previously created commercial versions of his pistol and amongst them was a long barreled carbine version which became Kaiser Wilhelm’s favourite hunting carbine.
The German Navy Luger was ordered with a 6″ barrel and sights graduated out to 100metres. The Artillery model was by no means the first long barreled Luger. A Luger pistol even makes a guest appearance in “The Sound of Music” in the scene where Captain von Trapp disarms the young telegram boy who has joined the Nazis Most people are familiar with standard 4″ barreled Lugers that are ubiquitous in movies about the first and second world wars and very common in the hands of villains in movies of all descriptions. Borchardt was the inventor of the toggle system that Georg Luger employed in creating the pistol that bears his name. Interestingly the inspiration for this pistol came from Hugo Borchardt, a German who had spent time in the United States working for Winchester, Sharps and Colt before returning to his native Germany. Amongst the various models of Austrian designer Georg Luger’s famous pistol the Artillery model is one of the most iconic and most desirable.
