^Lot 2302 PROFESSIONALLY FRAMED & MATTED ORIGINAL 1941 P.08

LUGER DIAGRAM. Original 1941 diagram poster for the P.08 Luger semi-automatic pistol (ironically, the upper left pictorial is of an Model 1900 "Old Model" Luger). Text is all in German, with the titles roughly translating to "9 Main Parts" (top left), "Barrel, receiver, bolt, trigger mechanism, safety" (center left), "Barrel sleeve (viewed from left)" (bottom left), "The interaction of the parts" (top right), "Interaction of the parts" (middle right), and "The grip section" (bottom right). The top right corner of the diagram is ink stamped with a faint unit marking that appears to read "12.I.R.15". Diagram has been professionally matted and framed, with a brown paper backing. CONDITION: diagram shows age related discoloration and scattered spots of staining, with several holes and tears present around edges and creases. Graphics remain clear, with text remaining legible. Frame is very good overall. (02-26421/MLW). NON-GUN. $700-1,200.
