I wonder how many lugers...

I guess the outside/inside ratio is way lower than 10,000 vs 1. Let's assume this forum has 500 members, averagely each member has 10 Lugers, the guesstimation is not aggressive at all, people have 10-20 Lugers are pretty common, and some people have 50+ (I have only two, because this gun is so expansive these days, but not so 30 years ago). That's account for 5,000 Lugers. If the ratio were 10,000:1, 'outsiders' had 5,000x10,000=50 million Lugers. This gun were made, all variations together, 2 million plus, and number of surviors of two world wars should be a much lower.

Even if we assume each member has only one Luger, outside number must be 5 million to meet the ratio.... that's still higher than production volume

An intersting (?) question for Luger fans: how many Lugers survived to this day? Any estimation?
