I'll try to be tactful with this but if it sounds a little unfriendly its not meant to be so. Erma was a well known WWI & WWII firearms maker, made a series of submachine guns and other weapons for the military. Post war attempts to enter the firearms market were not very successful. They made a series of .22,.25, &.32 semiautos that were ok, a M1 carbine copy in .22 that was a pretty good gun, and then the Lugers in .22 & .380, also a carbine version of the same. They stopped making all of them in the early 70's. Problems with them is in the metal. A magnet will not stick to them nor will any finish. They are also notorious in jamming. All said, at best you have a $225. value, realistically about $175. A basic Luger that works starts at $400.00. Yes, you have a German Luger. No, its not a "real" commercial or military version as mfg'd by Erfurt, DWM, or Mauser. And welcome to the forum. I've been around a few months and have learned a lot, you will also.
