I agree. They are 'fantasy reproductions', mostly made from Luger parts, and 'prettied up'. Yes, a lot of time and effort, but not 100% copied from the original .45 Lugers, and IMO a novelty item, rather than a collectible.

I think Ed's estimate is accurate. I really can't understand some peoples' obsession with .45 caliber Lugers [coff 'Eugene Golubtsov' coff] to the exclusion of other more historical restorations, but to each his own, I guess...
