That "signature" gets me in more trouble

! I collect the early Imperial era Lugers. Up until 1918 Lugers were only manufactured by DWM and Erfurt. After WWI, manufacture was reverted to other firms (Mauser, Krieghoff, Simson, etc), therefore "original" Lugers by DWM and Erfurt were no longer made, only "repros"...it is a joke, but evidently not a very good one since I have to explain it
