Well, since there hasn't been much response, I'm going to post the information I have acquired, and maybe it will help someone else in the future. I found 14 baby lugers that have been auctioned over the last couple of decades and have also identified their production numbers. Here are the numbers, in sequence:
#1 - yes, one of them was production #1
#22
#30
#53 - mine
#84
#86-7 - I don't know what the hyphenated numbers mean -
perhaps a barrel length? More likely, since they are
sequential (7-10-11), they refer to some change in the
production process?
#87
#105
#122-10
#133-11
#139 - engraved
#158
#175
#206
I also came across the information that 7 baby lugers were made in .380. I could not find any information on how many were 9mm and .30 luger. Those were evidently the only calibers made in baby lugers. From the auction listings, 9mm was much more common than 30 luger. The most authorative source I found on production numbers was from Gun Values by Gun Digest. I'm not sure I'm allowed to post the link here.
