Wombat,

This sounds like one of the Erma Lugers made in the 1960s and 1970s. They were made in .22, .380, and maybe .32 auto. The frames were made of an alloy (probably aluminum), but they looked like the real thing at a short distance. The quality on the outside was pretty good, but the quality inside with the mechanism was not the best. I have owned several in years and if they have not been "shot to death",, they do OK. They do tend to wear out and begin to give problems. One of the first areas I have noticed is the safety quits working, then they begin to jam, and from there, just work it as best as you can.

In my opinion, for the price, and if the pistol funtions good, they are a fun pistol shoot and enjoy, and look good in your collection. Just don't put a lot of money in them, no soare parts available.
