^^^ RJay, as I wrote in my prior post, I'm fairly certain that SaxonPig's pistol is not an Erma ET 22 "Artillery Model" without the fore-end. The Stoegers have a distinctive, chunky look compared to the Ermas I've seen.

Take a look at the pictures in the following Gunboards thread, and pay particular attention to the rear sight and the frame contours around the trigger guard. In addition, the pictures don't show the spurious rear toggle sight, although I'm not absolutely certain it's not there, as the pictures are taken from a slight upwards angle.

Also, I'll confess that I don't know who made the pre-68 Stoegers, but the later Stoegers were made in the USA (see PetahW's ad).
