*SOLD* 1992 Mitchell Arms American Eagle 9mm *COLLECTIBLE SEMI-AUTOMATIC PISTOL*
Bryant Ridge's Analysis
The Pistole Parabellum—or Parabellum-Pistole (Pistol Parabellum), commonly known as just Luger or Luger P08 is a toggle-locked recoil-operated semi-automatic pistol. The Luger was produced in several models and by several nations from 1898 to 1949. The design was first patented by Georg Luger. It was meant to be an improvement of the Borchardt C-93 pistol and was initially produced as the Parabellum Automatic Pistol, Borchardt-Luger System by the German arms manufacturer Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken (DWM). The first production model was known as the Modell 1900 Parabellum. It was followed by the "Marinepistole 1904" for the Imperial German Navy.
The Luger was officially adopted by the Swiss military in 1900, the Imperial German Navy in 1906 and the German Army in 1908. The Luger was the standard service pistol of Switzerland, Portugal, the Netherlands, Brazil, Bolivia, and Bulgaria. It was widely used in other countries as a military service pistol and by police forces. The German Army service adopted it in a slightly modified form as the Pistole Modell 1908 (Pistole 08) in caliber 9×19mm Parabellum. The Model 08 was eventually succeeded by the Walther P38. The Luger is well known for its wide use by Germany during World War I and World War II, along with the interwar Weimar Republic and the postwar East German Volkspolizei.
The Mitchell Arms American Eagle Luger is an extraordinary pistol that is based on the iconic German P.08 Luger design. It features a stunning stainless steel finish, a 4" barrel, classic checkered American walnut grips, a serrated blade dovetailed front with V-notch rear. The American Eagle crest mark with a 1992 date stamp on the chamber indicates that this example was produced in 1992. This fantastic piece would be a perfect addition to your firearm
