This article has a few errors, sorry.

For example, Erma never made Lugers, though they did make .22 conversion kits for the P.08.

Stoeger made a Lugery-looking .22 blow-back system pistol with a toggle that jumped up and down--but did not lock the breech the same way a Luger does. Stoeger held the copyright in this country for the name "Luger", and was legally entitled to use it on a pistol, which they did.

Stoeger and Mitchell purchased and branded the stainless Lugers that were made in a single shop in Houston called Aimco (had another name also, which escapes me at the moment).
