It's a real pity that Norinco didn't make a new Luger in more useful quantities. It seems like someone had to have one (pity it wasn't me!).
As an aside: Seeing that crisp 'Made in China' on a Luger would amuse me as much as seeing the Chinese characters for 'Made in Germany' on a Broomhandle. Historical perspective should make us giggle a bit.

Instead, being a bit of a purist, (I know I'm a bit boring too) it turns my guts to see a 1911 with "made in China" (or even in Switzerland, or Italy if you prefer) written on it!
