It's an attempt at humor. I am an Imperial Era collector. Prior to 1918, there were only two manufacturers of Lugers, DWM (original) and Erfurt (government arsenal under patent license to manufacture Lugers beginning 1910). After that time DWM ceased to exist (it became BKIW) and Lugers were no longer made by the original makers...hence "reproductions".
