You ask a very loaded question:
I tried to answer this question several times but keep finding myself back tracking to make exceptions to my statements.
If you were to define "your" view of quality it might be easier to cater an answer just for you.
There were improvements made in the guns and in the manufacturing processes over time, the finish of some suffered as a result of war but all war lugers went through very stringent quality controls before being accepted for use by the military. All war lugers had a minimum quality standard"
Many early commercial lugers are things of beauty and precision and many survive today having never seen war time activity. The care that went into their manufacture. is quite obvious.
The HK's are pretty interesting guns, some believe them to be the best of the best, but I am not so sure that is the case.
They did produce lugers using different processes and bluing and had very low rejection rates.
As you can see, it is easy to get lost in this question. I don't think there is a defined answer.
Any statement someone makes can be countered.
Good Luck!
