there was an article in a french gun magazine that featured a .22 caliber luger-like gun also marked west germany which had features very similiar to the one pictured in this thread. it had 6" bbl and slightly recessed 9mm size muzzle recess but the 22 barrel was not hidden much - and overall gun was more realistic ( than the erma variants ) like this one here
it had similiar text/symbol imprinted on frame flat between the sideplate and the safety lever
and also had 2 pins thru the frame in same odd places, and the toggle asy had same features
and also same grip cfg
the finish looked like flat black spray paint/coating
so perhaps this one here is a 380 variant ?
what is the text on the left side frame flat ? it may include the caliber etc
also disassembly pictures would be very interesting
perhaps erma had some trial sales products ( ie let public do beta test ) or maybe design was purchased by erma
