Marty, best I could come up fast..hope that helps..Good luck with the Stoeger Luger .22..Is it an older one or newer model?Jim

Jim,
I have no idea. How do you tell? One worth more than the other?
I would guess it is older given it has a 4 digit serial # starting with 45

Marty, I am not versed in the history of Stoeger Lugers, except that their obtaining the patent rights to the LUGER name goes back to the 1920's.

Here's one article which has some history, but doesn't define when they first made the .22..Jim

contacting the Stoeger Company as it presently exists may yield some added infor on your pistol..Jim

Marty, I did a bit of googling and it appears Stoeger manufactured the .22 Lugers from early 70 to about 1985..
Here's an excerpt:

Luger - CAL..22 L.R. - 4 And 1/4 - Don't Know - 47139 -
Manufactured in the U.S.A. by STOEGER ARMS CORPORATION S. HACKENSACK, NEW JERSEY PATENTS PENDING it has two small bird in a sight aperture in front of the rear site This gun has been in my family for awhile and I was wondering when it was made it also has some tiger wood grips on it believed to be original any information would be great as to its year and how rear it maybe thanks

Answer:
Matt, Stoeger introduced a .22 Caliber Luger in the early 1970s. The Stoeger Luger was of the same general pattern as the original Luger Parabellum, but it used a simplified version of the toggle lock and the frame was an aluminum forging with the barrel inserted into the front and secured by a cross-pin. Two basic models were offered, a standard and a target model which had an extension at the rear of the frame for an adjustable target rear sight. Both models were available with 4.5 inch or 5.5 inch barrels. No mention was made in any of my reference books as to what original grips for these pistols looked like. Values are listed in the $150 or less range and I doubt that the grips will have much affect. References indicate that Stoeger ended production of this model in about 1985. Marc

Thanks Jim!

Well, let us know how the critter shoots once you clean and go over it!..:) Jim
