I'm with Norm, it is the "Krieghoff" name mystique- coupled with "Nazi" and "Luftwaffe".

Any notion of "quality" really makes little sense as they were produced on third hand - "hand-me-down" machinery: Erfurt->Simson->Krieghoff. JMHO.

Only luger mfg. that I know of that marketed "reject" frames, those marked with a star, as good enough for commerce.
