I wonder if he was properly licensed to use that Baofeng radio? 🤔

In American I can legally own it an listen to it without a license but I can’t broadcast on it.

You can do that all over the world, there is no law banning anyone from owning a radio.

sure looks like you can tell the back round of 9mm is the one that got chambered a lot, given the bullet pushback.

It sure looks like the bottom of a swimming pool

Wonder if his Grandpa brought it over from Germany after the war..

As far as I know, no one was cranking out Lugers with a grip safety in 1940.
Centremass@reddit
Looks like a later addition, not factory.

It's a 1906 DWM Brazilian contract frame ...... grip safety + lack of a stock lug
My guess is someone threw a 1940 dated receiver/upper on it ....the mismatch in finish is pretty easy to see Originals were in 7.65mm .

Came here to say this. Glad someome beat me to it. I own one of the Brazilians. It was my first Luger, actually.

He also had a tiny little mustache and a dumb combover.

Carrying a P08 as a modern day side is so fucking cool tbh. His gang leader is probably gonna decapitate him now.

Pretty sure 1940 is 2nd highest production year, so I would imagine if a random luger pops up somewhere, odds are good it would be a 1940.

imagine Martin Bormann finally getting caught because his dumb ass grandson stole his Luger
