RK, from my readings over the years, I know that a few "hand-made" ones were made in different countries (Afghanistan, possibly Vietnam), but the Chinese and Japanese never made any and only used a few captured guns.

BTW, I have heard more than once, people refer to any German made combat type pistol as a Luger, usually they are referring to P-38's, but there were Chinese made copies of the Broomhandle..
So who knows?
