Dear Ron:
It's a reproduction if made after 1918!
Do you shoot your masterpiece or do you just admire it?
I saw a surviving original DWM .45 displayed at a Gun Show in Lakeland Florida in 1986 or so. I actually was allowed to handle it. I understand that Mike used this actual pistol to reverse engineer his modern creation.
I'd love to handel one and actually shoot one. Oh well, perhaps in my next life.
As to the Krieghoff and Krause question, I'd vote for the Krause. After all, the Krieghoff is simply the recreation of a common P-08, whereas the Krause is a recreation of a rare masterpiece.
