Borchard-Luger number 5 - interesting article

This article makes it sound like the "buyer" could simply stamp out replicas like a cookie cutter! Knowing the "buyer" as well as I do, I doubt very much that this was the intention in this whole unfortunate affair. It takes many hours of tooling and fitting to make replicas, not to mention the out of pocket costs involved. Who would pay in excess of 30K for a replica? That the low estimate I have heard to fashion a likeness of the B-L#5.
