As posted above, Stoeger "owns" the name "Luger" in the United States and therefore is the only firm that can market a firearm with that name. Your pistol was produced by Stoeger in the US until 1985. It has an aluminum alloy frame and is in .22LR caliber. It is a fun plinking gun but unfortunately does not have much collector interest. It was rather inexpensively made approximate copy of the Luger action and intended for sport shooting. In mint condition I believe its value is around $200-$250. In the wooden box with extra mag, it may be one of the "1 of 1000" special set made in 1984-85, and therefore worth a bit more, perhaps in the $325 range.
