Post war Mauser frames made in Italy?

[ithacaartist]

Holger Schlemeier's book about Erma's history, models produced, etc. would likely answer the question of whether frames were made elsewhere. As far as I know, the book has been printed in its original German, and I'm waiting for the English version which was slated to follow.

I'm skeptical that this ever happened. The series produced at that time would have been the KGP pistols, in two models and three calibers. These departed from the earlier Erma Luger-styled guns in that only the grip frames and triggers were cast Zamak, while the predecessors were built entirely of zinc alloy castings, save the barrel liners, breech blocks, and internals. The later guns were also scaled down, compared to the early ones that mimicked the dimensions and weight of real Lugers.

If someone can come up with the pics from the aforementioned article, and if they're detailed enough, we might be able to identify them as Erma or not.
