Sid,

These little "Luger" copy pistols were made in the 1960s by the original Erma Werke. They made them in .22, .380, .32 cal.; and I think they made a very few in 9mmP (not sure about this though).

They were inexpensive little pistols which were not of the best quality. The frames were usually and aluminum or zinc type alloy and prone to breakage. One that I owned shot great and was fun to plink with, except the safety did not work.

According to the price and condition, they could be a fun little pistol to own, but keep in mind they are not very well made. There is a fair amount of information in John Walters book, "Luger" about these pistols. maybe someone with access to one can provide more details since I don't have mine with me.
