I made stocks and other parts for Luger and P-38 carbines for John Martz Luger carbine maker from Lincoln, California during the 1970s and 1980s and none have been used in any crimes.

Amazing that anyone would consider destroying these, especially with the historical significance of some of them

You can still own handguns in Australia, you just need more paperwork than before. If you cant fill in a form and keep your nose clean I'd rather you didn't have access to weapons...

Always enjoy and appreciate the education I get from you.

Don't destroy your M96 by firing 7.62 Tokarev ammo, in particular the Czech made in the 1950's.

Thank you Dr Tom for another walk through history. I will see you in the next installment.

another great educational video...thanks for sharing your encyclopedic knowledge! The KNIL luger was interesting. I have the book on them, unfortunately they are almost always in terrible shape having been through Dutch, Japanese and in some cases Indonesian military use

The broom handel and the pp were absolute stand outs just beutifull thank you team 👍

Lovely history Tom

Dang! That’s one great book! I know wha I want for Christmas! Usually I say “nothing” . Now I actually know what I want! The “dang” puts me in the Southen area of the US. It’s Texas, so that means, I’m a long way from Canada! Dang!

Thank you Tom enjoy your videos !!!

A Vickers Luger from the Royal Dutch East Indies colonial army (KNIL) with a copper plate for the unit markings! Unique!

I am really enjoying the videos. Are most of the purchases your able to rescue from dealers in Canada or more so from private individuals? Or maybe could you share a quick video of what’s going on up there and how your able to save them. I love hearing those types of stories.

My understanding (per Ian) is that DWM couldn’t manufacture MILITARY Lugers as defined by caliber and barrel length. But they did manufacture Lugers for Finnish military in the 1920s… which the Finns later updated to 9mm. DWM treated the manufacturing as being military guns as far as markings. (few).

That is correct. They could not make MILITARY guns.

One of the best gun designs

The "Broomhandle" Mauser is a M30 made after 1930 s evidenced by the D.R.P.u.A.P marking on the right side as well as the high serial number. There are also other less obvious differences

In Europe many businesses had pistols for their paymasters as workers were always paid in cash which was required by law.

Handguns aren't fully banned in Canada yet, but they have banned the transfer of handguns between individuals. You can currently keep what you have and use them but due to this change, if you die, any guns registered to you will either be destroyed or have to be exported out of the country.

Correct. And specifically, original Lugers' barrel length is too short making them prohibited devices on top of that.

I would really love to have that vickers lugar

Not from Canada but ten years ago my girlfriend was renting a house from the daughter of a WWII Vet. One night I found an absolute mint original BYF 42 Black Widow tucked away somewhere in the basement. She knew it existed but had forgotten about it. I tried so very hard to buy that gun but she wanted to "keep it in the family" and gave it to her son. Normally that's OK but he was not going to be a good custodian and I'd hate to see what became of it.

My understanding of Canada is that Trudeau SUCKS.. Oh well more guns for u.s... Nice double entendre.

Hi Tom, the first WW1 Luger shown had the cross cut relief on top of the receiver, I’m told this indicates an artillery barrel conversion to 4” can you confirm this? Great Vid BTW

You need to what more you can get out of Canada if these stupid bans go through.

Excelente como siempre Tom!!!!!

Outstanding video and presentation

As a dutchman and a gun owner. I honest to god never heard of the word 'rust' being the safety. We call it 'veiligheid' or 'veiligheidspal'. I am not saying its incorrect but would definitely need to search a vocabulary for this. Great video!

@oscarkromhout7621

Жыл бұрын

Correction. you're probably right haha! 'rust' also means 'rest' so they probably meant 'resting postition' cool. You could say the gun is 'resting' in that position. Bit weird but probably what they meant. Just came to me a minute after placing the first reaction.

question--- could you show and discuss double dated lugers?

I hope we get back our gun laws at least the privilege we had in the 1950s

No, the British proof marks on the Vickers Luger wouldn't have been applied after it was returned to the UK from the DEI. The pistol would have been proofed in the UK at the time of assembly because that's what British law requires, which is to say, that a firearm has been 'tested' (proofed), as safe, before being sold to a customer, foreign or domestic.
