Thanks drbuster , thats very interesting and certainly contradicts much of what I,ve been reading .
John Walter states in his 2 books , that the Luger work was at Vickers Crayford plant rather than Erith , more famous for machine guns . He has no doubt that Vickers had the capacity and expertise to make Lugers , but questions where the production machinery came from , so soon after the war .
