    A local pawnshop has a Luger that may be coming out of pawn soon. It's a standard 9mm, 4 inch barrel. All numbers match, including the clip. What I was wondering about was, there are no markings on top. NO date, no makers mark. It doesn't look like it's been polished. Is this normal? Also, it does have a stamp on the grip, in front. If I remember right, it's L.Sch.#---. There is a three digit number that I can't remember. What does that indicate? It seems like a good gun, about 50-60% bluing, good bore. I don't know what the guy will ask for it yet though. What's it worth?

    Pass on the tradition, teach a kid to shoot.

    I don't know of any other manufacturer. Erma made the .22 Luger under the American Arms name, & they also made variations for a couple of US importers.

    If you mean a parts breakdown, it's in "Firearms Assembly...Pistols and Revolvers" from the NRA.

    EDIT: Stoeger imported many models from Germany, but I have seen nothing definitive about who made which models for them.

    Three different companies made replica .22 Lugers between the 60's and the 80's. The Stoegers weren't actually made by them, but by one of their U.S. subcontractors. Erma in Germany and Echasa in Spain also made .22 replica Lugers. They were all different, as far as I know.

    I have worked on the German and American made replicas. You would be able to tell the difference in the toggle's with a magnet. Most of the Erma parts are made of Zinc diecastings, (potmetal). I had to replace a toggle on one because it shattered like a piece of glass, when it was being fired.

    My first hand gun was an Erma Luger I bought in Houston Texas back in 69 ...It lasted 2 weeks before the firing pin broke. I took it back to the store I got it from and they had another one so they traded me. And It lasted 2 weeks before again the firing pin broke. I when back to the store ...they didn't have anymore "Lugers" so I traded up for a Colt SA buntline in 22 LR. Fast forward to 1980, I had an FFL and was located in Alaska, I was talking with a friend that loved Lugers, but was lamenting about the cost. I told him about the Erma Luger I had gotten and all the problems I had with them. BUT he was interested in getting one ...I found a new one in Shotgun News and ordered it for him ...2 weeks after he got it the firing pin broke! *L* ...But he liked it so much he built a new firing pin for himself ...worked fine for him the years and a half he was still up there!
