Rugers Standard Model 22 auto internal design is actually borrowed from the Japanese Nambu rather than the Luger pistol. But he did borrow from the Luger to improve that skinny grip frame on the Nambu. The grip appeared on his hand drills before the pistols were made.

I was heavy into Lugers for many years but gotten rid of most. Have dumped some recently including three Artillerys, a 1915 DWM w/holster and 1937 Mauser that went away. I traded the last one for a Semmerling LM-4. That's gone too.

Still have a few left including one Artillery. Also the first Luger I ever bought. Price was $100.
BYF41 matching w/holster. But that's a 1971 price. Choice was that or a '69 mfg Browning HP from a retiring Sgt.. I think I grabbed the right one.
