Reproduction Lugers
 

I know that Stoeger and Mauser have made these repros lately but are there any other manufacturers that still do?

And if there still is someone manufacturing these beauties, how much do they cost?

Atte, Other than the Orimar stainless lugers, I know of no other firm currently making completely new lugers. You might want to check Haken Spur's Swedish website (see Forum vendor's section) for what he is currently doing to pre-existing lugers. TH

Thank You, Doc!

I will immediately visit this website you mentioned.

Atte,
please don't call Mauser Parabellum repros.

The Parabellum production ended in 1947 when French army destroyed the firm; Mauser "started again" the production in the 1970 up to 1986.
Mr. Weiss, at the period parabellum production responsible, saved the parabellum blue prints used during WWII.
In the 1970, Mauser engineers decided that these blue prints were not valuable without the 1940 tools. Mauser made a decision to buy the tools used by Swiss for their production.
This is why the first production is very close to the 1929 model.
A few years after (1973) they decided to change the design, more similar to the 1906 model.
In the meantime Mauser began a production of commemoratives models finalised to commemorate the most important models and contracts.
I hope this helps.
Ciao

Mauro, Do you know what happened to the blueprints that were saved by Herr Weiss? Are they now in someone's personal collection ? or a museum ? or were they destroyed ?

Sorry, I meant Stoeger, not Mauser when I was asking about repros.

I happen to have a post II world war Mauser myself, it`s serial number is 11.009989 and I presume that it has been manufactured in the 70`s.

Still I would like to know what is the average retail price for Orimar`s stainless steel model in USA.

Reason why I am asking this is because I am writing this question in Finland. I have not seen any of Orimar`s or Stoeger`s models " in live" except in pictures of gun magazines. This is the reason why I am not aware of their retail prices.

I would like to buy one but before that I got to know the price, dealer in Finland etc.

John,
you have been rising an interesting topic. Actually I don't know where the blue prints are. I know that in Oberndorf there is the Mauser museum and maybe also the blue prints are there.
I will try to better figure out this point.
Ciao
Mauro

If you go to the Member Gallery on the left of the screen and go to page 5, there is a copy of what I believe is the current price list of ORIMAR for their new stainless steel guns. If you continue on to page 10 of the Member Gallery, there are a fairly large number of photos of an assortment of these guns.

Hi Mauro! As long as your looking! If you see ANY prints on ANY P.08 magazine, please keep me in mind if a reprint is available or possible??? best to you Mauro! I have the 1913 tables... this is not the best print to work off of! til...lat'r...GT

Thank You, Mr. Richards, I found what I was looking for

Atte, If you are looking for a non-shooting full size repro, I have a metal one made in Japan available @$75. This could probably be imported almost any where, except maybe the UK, without any permits. TH

Hello G.T.
I have two Mauser 1940 blue prints where are described tools for doing some parts of the P08 (I guess the chamber).
You can see these blue prints at page 85 of my book.

Lugerdoc, thanks for your offer but I am trying to get a Navy Parabellum Ormar/Aimco replica from Usa to the IWA exhibition in Germany next month.

My gundealer visits this exhibition and, if everything goes right, brings this beauty to me.

Licences here in Finland are not a problem. Our gun legislation is stricker than yours, but if you are a member of a shooting club, you will get licences easily.

Thanks anyway.

Atte, I once sent an original Naval rear sight to Aimco for possible reproduction for their "Navy model" but this proved too complex/expensive to do so their 6" currently only has the standard PO8 fixed rear sight. TH.

Atte,

Is that the exhibition in Kassel?
Let me know how your efforts in getting a 'fresh' Orimar luger to Europe are going. I've tried to contact Orimar for European deliveries several times, but had no luck.

That was new to me.

Still, even if it is not a realistic replica, I think it`s worth of trouble. I`m buying it to replace my old ones as a shooting gun.

Atte,

I have one of the 6 inch "Navy" stainless steel guns. It is very accurate. If you could find a good rear sight to put on one it would help. All that I did to mine was use a small round file to change the "V" shaped notch to a rounded "U" shape. This greatly helped to make sighting easier.

Let us know if you do get to buy one in Europe. You might be the first!

To mr. G.van Vlimmeren;

I don`t know the exact place for IWA exhibition because my dealer is going there. I found a web page by using google that was dated 6 years ago, had prices in DM and the name of the store seemed to be scandinavian. If my dealer won`t success with his efforts, I will try to contact this store. Hopefully it still excists.

I will tell the e-mail address of this store to you later today.

To mr. Richards;

Thank You for Your advice.

Well, at least I`m determined and stubborn enough to get one of these beauties, don`t know whether I am lucky enough. This day will clarify many things, I try to take contact to couple of European importers who, according to roomers, have been selling these Lugers 5-6 years ago.

I have send direct e-mail to Orimar, haven`t got answer yet due to time difference.
