This Pistol was found together with the two Sten Guns I featured in my very first video on this series, and I'm now finally taking the time to put it back in shape. It's a Lange Pisole 08, also known as the Artillery Luger since it's intended use was to equip artillery crews. It sports a much longer barrel than regular P08s, and a holster that can also act as a stock, transforming the pistol into a carbine. But how will it fare at the range after a century of neglect? In this video I'm also explaining what temper colors are and a couple ways to obtain them, including a process known as nitre bluing.
