Welcome

Introduction

This web site contains useful information about the Artillery Luger variations and the Mauser Parabellum pistols made after 1945 in Mauser. Initially under French control (1945 - 1946) and later the reintroduction of the Parabellum from 1969 onwards. This web site replaces the old Artillery and Mauser Parabellum web site with a more modern and effective design. The old web site is not maintained but it remains available for consultation. The current web site uses more extensively the documents from the Mr. Joachim Görtz’s photographic archive. This archive, built by Mr.  Görtz during his live, is composed by 32 folders containing Luger photos, original historical Luger pictures from WWI and WWII and important notes. Some topics that were discussed in the previous web site related to the Paul Mauser Private archive are not repeated here; the reader can refer to: The Paul Mauser Archive Web Site.
