I offer some minor corrections. The Luger pistol was designated P08, "P" meaning Pistol 1908. The Parabellum pistol was tested a few times by the US government, the earliest in 1901. In that year the US purchased 1000 commercial pistols that were actually issued to troops. They saw service in the Philippines as well as the American southwest. Afterwards they were sold commercially through Bannerman's, an early military surplus dealer. For more information I direct you to:

This was fascinating, I would have never imagined that the German Luger was manufactured with the American army in mind
