I think comparing 1911 to Luger parts is a huge mistake - huge. And not being negative, you asked our opinion and this is mine. There are scores of folks who make exact replicas of 1911A1's - besides Colts making them for so many years.

And numbering of lugers - this was a gov't requirement - see the requirements to DWM and Erfurt - although I believe that hand fitting was required, I know that the numbering was a requirement and not strictly for hand fitting...
