Steve, since the new firm will be called Orimar Firearms Manufacturing and will sever ties with STOEGER will the new firearms be called a "Luger" or ??? Doesnt Stoeger OWN the name Luger when it comes to firearms? Just curious<hr /></blockquote>Considering how many years that the P-08 has come to be known generically as "Luger" in the US, and Stoeger having never acted to defend their property, I suspect that, if it ever came to trial, "Luger" would be deemed to have passed into the public domain.
