I really don't think these guns are actually old guns or shooters restored. They are newly manufactured reproductions, but by whom I don't know. My guess is an Italian company under some kind of exclusive contract deal.

I know they (the American Historical Foundation) uses generally available Uberti guns from Italy for the Colt reproductions they sell. Although the non-decorated Uberti Colts are available from dealers, many of the other guns AHF sells such as the Luger and P-38 are not. I would buy some of them without all the gold and engraving that makes them so expensive.
