The ERMA's were big enough to qualify under the "point" system for import, many had a thumbrest "target" grip which added import points. Have worked on both, a broken Stoeger can usually be fixed, a broken ERMA is best made into a wall hanger.
Stoeger does own the rights to use the "Luger" name as they copyrighted it @ 1920 which is why none of the copies that have appeared could put the Luger name on their guns. Even mauser (an original producer of Lugers) had to market theirs as the "Parabellum" pistol back in the 70's.
