East German Lugers?

Dwight Gruber · 06-23-2005, 11:11 AM

Luke's thread http://forum.lugerforum.com/showthre...threadid=12282 has brought to the surface something I have been wondering about. I am starting a new discussion rather than hijack his into unsupportable WAG territory.

I recall reading (can't find the source now) that the East Germans actually produced a small run of Luger pistols. I'm led to believe that there weren't very many, that their quality was poor.

Can anyone here authoritatively tell the story of these guns? Does anyone have one? Can pictures be posted so we can see their characteristics?
