CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE: The unique design of your Luger pistol greatly simplifies normal cleaning and lubricating procedures. It's greatly advanced unit construction will enable the user to clean the entire firing mechanism by simply soaking in kerosene. A soft bristle brush can be used with kerosene to remove stubborn dirt or powder deposits. DO NOT USE COARSE WIRE BRUSHES. The take-down plunger hole (J) located at the back of the frame, is directly in line with the bore of the barrel.
PREPARINGTHE GUN FOR STORAGE: after thorough cleaning swab all metal surfaces generously with a preservative grease. (Be careful to remove aII traces of grease from the bore before subsequent use.) Wrap the greased weapon in heavy paper and seal all openings. Some shooters find that a plastic bag or flannel lined carrying case is ideally suited for storage purposes.

Born in America Now Made in America Actually, the Luger is as American as apple pie. It was originally designed by an American, Hugo Borchardt. who tried to market it in the United States. No sale. So. being enterprising, he sold the idea to a German firm where George Luger came up with the Luger design as we know it. Stoeger popularized this model in America! And nowthanks to modern engineering and manufacturing methods it says "Made in America" on the Luger.
