ORIMAR hopes to RESUME PRODUCTION

On 16-Feb, I sent an email to the address listed for Orimar Firearms Manufacturing on the lugerforum Links & Resources page. Minutes later, I received the bad news: delivery failure, unknown user. But this morning I tried the phone number listed on L&R, and shortly found myself talking to R E Romo.

He informed me that Orimar (OFM, Inc) is hoping to resume production of the stainless P.08, perhaps in several months. The reason production was halted is that Stoeger declined to continue as the distributor. Stoeger was recently acquired by Beretta. Mr. Romo did not imply that Beretta coerced Stoeger's decision. But draw your own inference: would Beretta want its subsidiary marketing a product superior to Bereta's own pistols? OFM is now negotiating with several possible new distributors.

Mr. Romo invited me to sent OFM postal mail (at the address correctly listed on the L&R page) stating my interest in purchasing a stainless P.08. OFM will keep a list of all such mail received, and senders will be notified directly when plans to continue production are finalized.

I would suppose that OFM's ability to offer some documentation of demand for the product might have a positive bearing on the current negotiations. If you have any interest in acquiring one of these gems, please send your mail to Mr. Romo as soon as possibe!
