Post war East German manufactured Lugers!

Hi Folks!

Here is what IÃ¢??ve learned so far, courtesy of a German friend and fellow collector.

Some small (unknown) number of Lugers were produced in East Germany as part of a gunsmithing program in one of the State run gunsmith schools. These were completely new production, and used no existing Luger parts. The only markings were East German commercial proofs (which look like pre-war German proofs) and serial numbers, which were longer than four digits. The size of the numbers larger than we normally see on Lugers - about four mm.

Additional information welcome!

Warm regards,

Kyrie
