It was in 1904 that the German Marine adopted
the Luger pistol as a regulation side-arm. It asked and obtained some modifications as a
longer 150 mm barrel, the addition of an adjustable two position (100 - 200 mm) rear sight
and the adaptation of a removable wood board stock bearing a metal disk screwed on the
left side. Produced until 1917, the Marine Luger successively underwent all the
regular model modifications. The former wooden bottom magazine bore concentrical rings. To
