ERMA-WERKE LA 22 Luger .22 LR
Description: Guns Listing ID: 594667 Erma Werke LA 22 – West-German ¾-Scale Luger in .22 LR, 1960s Production Compact, collectible, and mechanically fascinating, this LA 22 brings the unmistakable silhouette of the P-08 Luger to the rimfire range. Built in Ulm, West Germany in 1967, it blends a steel-lined barrel with a ZAMAK alloy frame and wears a deep chemical-black finish that matches its checkered brown grip panels. Only about 25,000 LA 22s were produced, and examples in this kind of condition, have become increasingly scarce. Condition • Overall: Very good. Light, superficial handling marks only. • Mechanical: Function is excellent; toggle cycles cleanly, positive lock-up. • Bore: Mirror-bright with sharp, well-defined rifling. • Finish: Consistent bluing throughout; no corrosion or pitting. Collectors looking for an honest, well-cared-for example will appreciate how little evidence of use this pistol shows, especially for an alloy-framed rimfire of the era. Firearm does not come with a pistol case. Scaled at roughly 75 % of a wartime Luger, the LA 22 uses a simple blow-back action cleverly disguised by a reciprocating “toggle" top unit. Dual knurled cocking knobs replicate the feel of the original while making charging effortless. A heel-type magazine catch, integral blade front sight, and V-notch rear sight keep the manual of arms authentic, and the manual thumb safety offers straightforward, intuitive control. Because Erma’s engineers lined the 4.5" barrel with steel, accuracy is on par with modern rimfire pistols, yet the pistol retains the lightweight balance that made it popular with post-war plinkers. West-German eagle/“N" and Ulm antler proof marks confirm the pistol passed 1960s CIP nitro-testing standards. Enthusiasts value the LA 22 as the first post-war “Luger" to reach the U.S. market, paving the way for later EP 22 and ET 22 variants—but the LA 22 remains the most faithful in look and handling. Whether you’re drawn by its historical niche, its rimfire economy, or simply the novelty of a toggle-breech trainer, this well-preserved 1960s example offers genuine charm with practical shootability. Add a piece of West-German engineering history to your collection and enjoy the timeless Luger experience, minus the surplus-ammo bill.
