Hello Ray,


If you go to the "Links & Resources" section of the Forum, you will find a listing for AIMCO; they make the new S/S lugers. DFWarms.com in Texas also sells these new S/S lugers (under the name Stoeger lugers).


You might also want to consider a New In Box (NIB) luger made by Mauser and distributed by Interarms in the 1970-1980's.


These are real lugers made on orginal tooling from Mauser before and during WW2. If you do a "search" on past Message Board threads under "Mauser-Interarms", you will get lots of information (pros and cons...).


I just bought a NIB Mauser-Interarms from Tom Heller (he is listed in the Links & Resources section as Heller Arms, LTD) which I am very happy.


Price of the S/S lugers from AIMCO and these Mauser-Interarms lugers seem to be nearly the same...


Another S/S luger was made by Mitchell Arms in the early 1990's. You can find some of these on guns sites e.g. Gunsamerica.com and sometimes on Gunbroker.com or Auctionarms.com.


I have seen both S/S lugers, in person, as well as the Mauser-Interarms lugers and find the latter better from a fit & finish standpoint; since the Mauser-Interarms lugers were made in Germany for import to the USA.


Many members on this Forum do not consider a 4th. luger era (post WW2) as valid from a collector's stand-point; others do and this agrument continues...


I decided on a NIB Mauser-Interarms luger as my 1st."shooter" since it is a New gun that I do not have to worry about parts breaking and replacement parts chasing for some time to come.


Good luck...
