Black Stoeger Luger

[ithacaartist]

Aimco's last-produced Luger was the 1900/2000 commemorative series of 350 pistols. Stainless like all the rest...but with black Cerokote. The Stoeger in the link is a "2-line" example from the 20s, after military style serial numbering of commercials began. I wouldn't call it a Navy because it has standard rear sight. Stoeger installed custom length barrels to order after the guns reached the U.S. Serial number listed oddly backwards, 5577n. This nice pistol will go for beau coup bucks.

Fond memories. That Aimco Luger was offered for sale at the 2000 Kansas City NAPCA show. I designed the commemorative medal and Mark Rendina had them made up to sell/give at the show.

Ron, do you remember what came with an Aimco Centennial Luger? Plastic box, or something more ambitious? Extra mag? etc.

Mine, as an auction purchase, came gun only, and with one mag that really didn't fit or function very well. I still had two of the smooth-sided stainless mags with the eagles cast into the plastic bottom's knobs, and they are just right.

Finally, what would you suggest for getting ahold of one of those medals?
