It is a steel frame model, with a very good balance and shoots well. 10 shot magazine, walnut grips and as you can see in the pictures it was unfired at the time of these pictures. Now how did i come about actualy rediscovering this long misplaced little luger? The salespersons name was Jacquline Wingate and she and i have kept in touch over the years and have become good friends. she would later leave that job to join the airforce and later become a professional photographer. When she would need to consult on matters of firearms ,she would contact me. In one of the conversations she asked about the stoger .22 luger i had bought and it set me to looking for it. And now you see the results of that search. 1983 stoeger luger found, august of 2010.

Now hows that for a true luger story.
