WWI Trommel Loader

Trommel Magazine Loader

This is a 32 round Type II (Second Issue) Trommel magazine in excellent condition. The Artillery Luger was issued with a stock and designed as a carbine for the crews of artillery and machine guns that were front line pieces in WWI. There is a lot of discussion about whether these were issued in leather or canvas carrying cases or if there was a case at all. I have seen pictures of boxes containing the trammel magazine but until more proof is offered this will be antidotal. (AC156)

The Bergmann MP18 was designed by Hugo Schmeisser in 1915 at the Bergmann Waffenfabrik factory. It was designed to fulfill the requirements established by the German Rifle Testing Commission. When the weapon was completed it was designated the Maschinenpistole 18/I or MP18/I. The weapons finished and the parts all fitted by hand at near commercial grade quality. The MP18/I went into production in early 1918 using the 32rd snail drum magazine used in the P08 Luger. Issued in the final stages of World War I at least 5,000 MP18/I were built and issued before the war ended. The weapon was outlawed for German Military use by the Treaty of Versailles but small quantity was issued the Weimar Republic for police use.
