RE: info on 2 pistols
Ifthe .22 Lugeris a Stoeger, then it was made by Erma in West Germany. Thesewere relatively inexpensive butpopular gunswhicharen'tvery hard to find.Erma also made a rare target version .22 Lugerwith a very long barrel that's muchmore collectible.
Erma also made Baby Lugers under their own namein .380 and .32 thatcommand a more premium price.
Erma also produced an authentic looking.22 LR version of the M1 carbine.
Ermawent out of businessabout 10 years ago.
Stoeger owns the Luger name, andthey later sold a U.S. made9mmstainless Luger witheither a 4 or6 inch barrelwhich have doubled in price.
But the standard Luger .22's are still much less expensive than any of the others mentioned, and I doubt if they are tack drivers,but rathermore of a .22 noveltygun.
