Surviving Lugers

Thor · 12-21-2002, 03:21 PM

Just wonder if any one has studied the subject on what PERCENTAGE of Luger examples are ESTIMATED to have survived to date. I know a lot of the early Navy and Artillerys met their fate during the end of WWI (and during the war as well) You look at some of Mausers estimated production numbers of say 128,000/year. I wonder how many are still around? What percentage of those are in the US. I have heard that we have MOST of the Lugers that are left in the world due to our gun ownership freedoms. Any ideas? Are we talking ball park 10%, 20%. Thanks! [img]confused.gif[/img]
