Features include a grip safety and a 4 - 3/4".
Major metal components are rust blued, with smaller components being strawed and nitre blued. Like the 9X18mm Ultra, the 9mm Makarov and the 9mm Glisenti (power-wise they are all in the same ballpark), and before all those, the 9mm Browning Long was the most powerful round that could be used in a blowback pistol design without weight disadvantages.Ĭonsidered that a 9mm Glisenti (slightly the most powerful of the lot) has at the muzzle the same speed that a standard 9mm Luger has at 30m, that those service pistols shot exclusivey ball ammos, and that a 9mm luger ball projectile can pass completely trough a human body well beyond 100m distance, one has to wonder what the advantage of the adjunctive power of the 9mm Luger and of a complex breechlock design exactly was.One of just 564 Model 1935/06 Lugers manufactured by Mauser under contract for the Portuguese Military. 38 ACP as the ideal cartridge for breechlock service pistols. 380 ACP as the ideal cartridge for blowback pocket pistols, the 9mm Browning Long as the ideal cartridge for blowback service pistols and the. 45, that he designed only becuse he was requested to) and designed the. These weapons used the German cartridge m/08 equal to 9 mm Luger cartridge! This new cartridge was named m/39 in Sweden.īrowning believed in 9mm cartridges (much more than in. Together with this submachine gun 1500 Walther pistols model HP were bought. Later during WW2 the same gun was made by Junker and Ruh. It was made by the Walther Zella Mehlis plant for Sweden.
This invention became Bergmann M34/1 which after some modifications became M1935/1. The prototypes for this gun were made in Denmark 1932. This is model 1935/1 and it was made with both long and short barrels. This submachine gun was unlike earlier Bergmann submachine guns not designed by Hugo Schmeisser. Now Sweden bought 1800 submachine guns from Germany. The total number of m/37 submachine guns in the Swedish Army in 1939 was as low as 900! Introduction of new cartridge, namely m/39 was caused by urgent need for sub-machine guns, with storm rising above Europe, they did not have comfort to reject because “that sub-machine gun is not firing our cartridge”, according to ġ939 the war came closer and the demand for weapons were urgent in Sweden. Instead, the Lahti was adopted at the m/40 pistol, and produced in large numbers at Husqvarna as the Browning had been before it. A purchase of 1500 Walther HP pistols was made, but the outbreak of war interrupted the supply from Germany. The late 1930s testing once again found the Luger to be the most accurate pistol, but it was still expensive. Interestingly, the 9mm ones have salt-blued barrels but the other parts rust-blued (except for the small parts that were normally strawed). They did not receive and specifically Swedish markings, and can be identified only by serial number – 5700v to 6000v. They were all 1938 dated, with 275 in 9mm Luger with 4 3/4 inch barrels and 25 guns with 4 inch barrel chambered for. The Lugers in question were 300 guns purchased form Mauser. In 1938/9, Sweden held a second set of trials with the Luger (the New Model this time) the Walther HP (P38) and the Finnish Lahti M35. Their Browning pistols are in 9×20 Browning, and it would make a lot of sense to standardize on just one 9mm pistol cartridge. Fast-forward to the 1930s, and Sweden has begun to purchase batches of submachine guns in 9x19mm.

The Luger was found to be the most accurate gun in the trials, but expensive and not as reliable in cold weather as the Browning 1903 – which was formally adopted as the m/1907 a few years later and produced under license at Husqvarna. Sweden tested the Luger in 1904, along with all the major semiauto pistols available at the time. Lot 524 in the September 2019 RIA auction.
