Reproduction Snail Drum - progress

Good food for thought and discussion, but first one would have to agree on a definition for "quality".
It is like some other things- we know it when we see it.

But to an engineer is is "suitability for purpose" and "reliability" and "manufacturing efficiency" and in the final analysis "cost".

Many confuse a crude appearance with poor "quality"- appearance has little to do with the above.

The modern pistol in many forms and iterations can be a quality piece; it is just not so "aesthetically" pleasing as a Luger.
