Ron, in referring to the Riff Contract in his book The Luger Story, p. 173, John Walter states: "August Weiss, who was then supervising BKIW's pistol production in the Berlin-Wittenau factory, recollected it as 'large for its day'. He does not provide any reference to the source of this information but his use of quotes suggests he had access to Weiss or some of his writings. Of course, "large" and "a few thousand" are both rather non-specific terms.
