Alf,
They basically are handbuilt. That's why the price is pretty high even for Krieghoff standards.
@Alvin,
The tooling mostly constists of jigs on standard machinery. Krieghoff probably had access to the design drawings and the technical date for the machines as well. But they probably chose to use their own standard machinery and design new jigs around them, rather than use the (older) machinery of Simson. A bit like the thing Mauser did in the 1960s with the Swiss jigs, which could not be used directly because of different standardizations used.
