Not necessarily an "official" job.
I would guess $500 worth of machine and man effort to make one; plus what ever the value of a
non-functioning luger would be - JMHO.
Looking at the 'cuts' and how they display the underlying parts, it would take painstaking examination of the blueprints and more meticulous measuring/planning to get the 'cuts' so that the parts don't fall out or catch on the cut ends...

I'm referring to the Simpson #2. That is not a garage effort.
