The Luger P08 Parabellum pistol is a toggle-locked recoil-operated semi-automatic pistol that was produced in several models and by several nations from 1898 to 1948. The design was first patented by the Austrian gun designer Georg Luger as an improvement upon the Borchardt C-93 pistol and was produced by the German arms manufacturer Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken (DWM).
The first production model was known as the Modell 1900 Parabellum, followed by the "Marinepistole 1904" for the Imperial German Navy. The later versions included the popular "Parabellum Pistol Model 1908" or simply "P08" (Pistol 1908), which was produced by DWM and other manufacturers such as W+F Bern, Krieghoff, Simson, Mauser, and Vickers.
The first Parabellum pistol was adopted by the Swiss army in May 1900. 1904 they were adopted by the German Navy. In German Army service, it was adopted in slightly modified form as the Pistole Modell 1908 (Pistol 08) in caliber 9×19mm Parabellum. The Model 08 was eventually succeeded by the Walther P38.
The P08 was first introduced in 7.65mm Parabellum, though it is notable for being the pistol for which the 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge was developed, also known as the 9mm Luger, 9x19, 9mm Parabellum or just 9mm.
