I have to ask... reproduction Lugers?

Mauser reintroduced the Luger for a time beginning in the early 70s. Krieghoff recently made a very limited run. There is an outfir in Texas that makes a stainless Luger. Used to be distributed by Mitchell and then Stoeger, it's now an as ordered item.

Stoeger and Erma marketed Luger "look likes", not true Lugers, they were blow back operated, the toggle was window dressing. The Stoegers were chambered in 22 LR. Most of the Emas were also 22 LRs but a few were chambered in 32 ACP and 380 ACP.

Along the way there were a few odd ones, all rather obscure items in the collector's realm today.

There are few smits turning out custom Lugers in 45 ACP etc., but these are based on existing Luger parts.
