P 08 George Luger pistole of WWI and II
Ergonomically brilliant.
It commands respect far beyond its 9mm calibre. Weapon of choice for the German Wehrmacht officer corps till the cheaper to build P-35 (which I also love) was used as a replacement.
Not much to say, other than it is an ultimate collector item, and did not get replaced due to a qualitative or reliability reason. Just production realities of the war.
...Although the P-35 was double action...as an advantage of dubious distinction in wartime...
