Default luger machining?

Ok heres something I'm curious about back in 1900 through the 40's how were luger frames and parts made. Were they drop forged and finish machined? Or were they simply machined from a solid block of steel ie. A billet? I am a machinist and understand the technology availabe today and I have worked with and around machines from the late 19th century. But I do not know what kind of forging abilities they had in the time from 1900-1945.
