"BABY LUGER"?..I think??

11-10-2001, 10:20 AM

I've attended my area gun show for the past few years and there is an ERMA model 30 Luger for $375.00...looks like its in good shape. Can someone advise me as to how to judge quality and authenticity?

I had one of these.

Some work, mine never did.

Took it to a gunsmith for new springs, new mag, total R&R. Still never worked right. Always stovepiped the empties. Ammo didnt matter either. Did it with any brand.

I bought it for $175, and wound up swapping it for a really nice P38 at a gun show.

Post war Ermas suck.

But it sure was a cute little thing

I have four of them and they all function fine. I have a .380, .32 acp .22 and the .22 carbine. You must have gotten a lemmon or one that some one worked on.

The two I have handled could not fire twice in succession without jamming. But what can you expect from something made of pot metal with a thin steel barrel liner?
