How many late com. Lugers were produced ?

nahpatronen · 11-05-2003, 09:49 AM

I have been lucky and got two factory new commercial Lugers. One from 1940 - 9 mm and the other from 1941 - 7.65 mm; see photos below. Does anyone know how many commercial Lugers were produced from 1940 - 42 ? What's the value ?
Thanks

I don't know the production numbers you asked for, but Claus I sure envy you those two NEW Lugers! They are beautiful!

WW2 Banner commerical 7.65mm lugers were mostly produced for Foreign sale (Swiss, Latvian, Swedish, etc) where 30 luger was either standard issue or more available, due to war time demand, than 9mmP. I'm sure that a few were sold on the domestic German market, but I doubt to combatants. TH.
