The only thing I know of, is a man called Manfred Struger who is an austrian who did compeet in a centerfire pistolcompetition for men at the 25 metre distance.
Never heard of a german weapon of any sort, called a Struger or even nicknamed Struger.
Offcourse it can be true and I don't doubt it to be true.
But the name is close to "Luger" and those Lugers came is a whole bunch of variations.
One of those variations could be nicknamed "Struger".
Don't do anything that I've allready done - That'd be just plain STOOOOOOPID.0 -
No such weapon. Mispronouncing Luger.
Cruelty was a rare thing in the war. Fireside folks who talk about war and read about it, they figure it's cruel more often than not, but it simply isn't so... You kill in war to survive, and not because of any desire to kill.
Many men avoid battle not from cowardice but from fear of cowardice, fear that when the moment of truth comes they will not have the courage to face up to it. L'Amour0 -
Or maybe he means "Stoeger Luger".

Toolman- He says WWI- STG44 was WWII. But then again , he's calling it a "Struger".

Come on, if your friend claims to have the gun in his possession just go over and take a look at it and draw your own conclusions. If it is a "Struger" then by all means come back here and give is the low down on it along with any photos you might be able to sneak. Don't worry about hiding the serial number because your friend's Struger is without doubt Struger Pistol serial #1!

It's part of the rear seat armament from a Sturzkampflugzeuge, Abbreviated 'St', combined with 'R' for rear, and merged with Luger. I've heard that 165 of them were nailed to a plank as a replacement for the MG15, the triggers being pulled by little drag chutes that were popped simultaneously by the gunner. 0 -

Sounds like a Rubegoldbergen device. Wouldn't be then called a Fluger (Pflueger)? [:o)] Would be better to reel them in that way.

Gentlemen (and I use the term very loosely)......there's a perfectly logical answer.
This is a very rare model of the P08, manufactured by Waffenfabrik Strudel (a former food factory pressed into the arms business during the hectic last days of WWI).
Supply problems plagued the German Western Front in 1918, and unfortunately, most German soldiers were forced to cook and eat their "Strugers"....thus making them a very, very rare firearm.0
