Luger Cache w/US GIs during WWII

A few months ago at an auction I picked up one of those cast metal toy Lugers. As I was looking at it, and older gentleman who looked to be in his 80's or so started telling me this story. He said that right after WW2, his local VFW hall had a large amount of German Lugers for sale. They were $25 each and sold very quickly. He also said that guys started to carry them around with them, some of them getting drunk and shooting each other, but im guessing that was more of an isolated incident. This was in Pennsylvania, about 40 minutes north of Philly.
