1938 Swedish Army Trials Luger
This video details the 1938 Swedish Trials Luger, a variant of the iconic pistol evaluated for Swedish military adoption. Despite superior accuracy, the Luger was rejected due to cost and reliability concerns in cold weather, leading Sweden to adopt the Browning 1903 and later the Lahti M40. The trial Lugers, produced by Mauser, featured distinct rust-blued frames and salt-blued barrels, with specific serial number ranges for 9mm Luger and .30 Luger variants.
