Typical settings: World War I and II battlefield scenes, interwar European stories, military officer portrayals, and early 20th-century period productions.

This non-firing replica pistol is modeled after the German P08 Parabellum, a semi-automatic handgun introduced in the early 20th century and closely associated with European military service. Designed by Georg Luger in 1898 and adopted in its 1908 configuration, the P08 became one of the most distinctive sidearms of its era.

Historically, the original P08 was produced in Germany beginning in 1900 by Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken (DWM) and later by several other manufacturers, with more than one million units produced over its service life. Early versions were chambered in 7.65×21mm Parabellum, while the 1908 model is best known for popularizing the 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge. Its defining feature—the toggle-lock action operated by an articulated joint—set it apart from nearly all other semi-automatic pistols then in service.

Cinematically, the P08—often referred to simply as a “Luger” in popular culture—has become a visual shorthand for early 20th-century European military authority. Film and television frequently associate the pistol with German officers and formal military roles, sometimes emphasizing its presence beyond its actual historical distribution to reinforce character and setting.

Manufactured in Spain by Denix, a respected replica maker founded in 1967, this non-firing replica is constructed of metal with wood grips and features a simulated loading and firing mechanism along with a removable magazine. The black finish and 4.5-inch barrel reflect a classic service configuration commonly depicted in period storytelling.
