Chinese Luger ?
 

And, the Luger, like all great guns, has its copies. I recall a student going through an SDA class I was instructing, showing up with a "Luger" he had been fortunate enough to purchase. During the rapid fire stage of the course, he could not fire more than two shots in succession without the piece jamming. Upon close examination, his "Luger" turned out to be a Chinese copy of the famous sidearm. He finished the course with a borrowed Browning Hi-Power

This reads like a campfire story sprinkled with just enough truth to make you think... I have seen this page before, but I have never heard of any other "chinese" copies of the Luger... That's more than just a stretch IMHO.

Once again, I'll reveal the the abysmal shallowness of my luger knowledge, but with the exception of the postwar East German produced Lugers, wes there ever a real "copy" of a Luger made?

RK, from my readings over the years, I know that a few "hand-made" ones were made in different countries (Afghanistan, possibly Vietnam), but the Chinese and Japanese never made any and only used a few captured guns.

BTW, I have heard more than once, people refer to any German made combat type pistol as a Luger, usually they are referring to P-38's, but there were Chinese made copies of the Broomhandle..
So who knows?
