That is about the best you can get.

You can buy the best books out there, and newest and count the numbers up.

It is like asking how many chevies, fords and dodges there were made from 1900-1940; its too wide of a question.

An estimate from me is 2.5 million

but its just a feeling from my experience, it will buy you a cup of joe at Micky D's and you throw in a dollar...

Default the way i've got it figured is

add up all the lugers held by

ed tinker, bill lyons, postino, g.t., the shattuck collection, and mike morris,

double the number, and you should have a pretty fair representation of all lugers produced............lol...tom

Thanks to everyone...........what a bunch of clowns LOL. I think I really stepped in it with this question. Oh well, I will consider it my first rookie stripe. Ed, thanks for 2.5 mil figure because even with my very limited expericence that is the number I seem to gravitate to as well based on what I have seen so far.
