I remember this pistol. Thats crazy they are worth that much. I guess because you don't see too mny of them. Nice boomerang guy Jack404 by the way.

In my experience, $500 would be high even LNIB. They usually run around $250 in good condtion and there is not a lot of collector interest, even as part of a general Luger collection.

FWIW, Stoeger trademarked the name "Luger" back in the 1920's when they were the U.S. importer for the German pistol, which is why they could use the name on that .22 they sold.

I agree with Jim K that $250 is closer to the true price than the $499 in the ad that Jack mentioned.

JCF68 · 06-20-2011, 06:29 PM

Great replies! $ I am not ready to sell this. $250 is higher than what I paid. Now I am trying to find a Gunsmith in MA that know about a Stoeger.

It has been quite a while since I last played with the above firearm, I had numerous problems and was later found out that they well not well thought of in the firearm field.

I worked on one with feeding issues for a friend back in the early 90's and was not impressed with the "gun inside of the gun" design that made for many small stamped parts, mouse trap springs, roll pins ect....,and a some what soft alloy frame. Lots of compromises incorperated to get it in the luger shaped "shell" built around it. Bad JuJu IMHO....

They are a POS; Stoeger wanted to capitalize on the Luger name (which they owned) around the time Interarms was bringing in Mauser-made Luger repros. But Mauser could not use the Luger name (and in fact the original gun was never called that by its makers, and the name was never marked on the guns), so Stoeger decided to put it on something that vaguely resembled a "real" Luger and make a few bucks.

It grieves me to think of how many trusting buyers have been deceived into thinking they were buying some kind of a Luger, and of how much hard earned money has been sucked down the drain by this piece of junk.

Jim K · 06-21-2011, 09:14 PM

The really deceptive part is that they WERE buying a Luger, the only post-war pistol that could legally and properly be advertised and marked as a Luger. Aren't laws neat?

The Stoger was a stamped sheet metal hand gun. I never owned an Erma Luger but they were cute little .22s and .380s. They were castings but did look like a Luger. The Stogers go for around $250 at the gun shows.
