Original post war "true" Lugers?

Jasta2 · 10-01-2009, 01:47 PM

My Luger history is most likely off on this, but I take there were still some "original" Lugers still made after the war for a short period. Outside the custom 'one off' Lugers, the only makes of 'new' Lugers have been the Mausers of the 70's and the stainless Lugers that Mitchell and Stoger made. Is it true that the Stogers are/were made from the same tooling as the Mitchels? I see the Stogers up for sale now and then, but never a Mitchel. Why, low production? Were there any other makers of new post war Lugers outside these and the one off custom built models?
Thanks,Bill
