The pictures are of a "replica" of the Herman Goering Luger, that is why you can see it field stripped. Take a look at the engraving and the lettering. They have a "soft" look that is a result of casting. Also if you look at the grip frame, you can see at least three mold sprue marks. Examples of this excellent Japanese repligun have shown up on eBay and other auctions. It is a beautiful display piece, but not the original.
