I am offended! Dummy indeed

i have seen several different sizes of the metal ones, the war year ones made for the military are full size? The one or two I have, I am pretty sure are slightly smaller?

hmmm, anyone know of a way to copy a luger, the old way of sand molding and then hot lead or whatever would work, but unless some kind of injection plastic molding I imagine it would get too expensive?

So, if we could copy a real one, then inject mold it (I think that is the term) so it was either hollow (saving money) or solid hard rubber or plastic where it was the right size. I would imagine that like many of these, the end has to be 'red or orange' so it is obvious it is not a real gun.
