Hi Atte,
Did some checking on German sites. The IWA 2004 is held at Nurnberg. The Kassel show is held much later, somewhere in november.
If anyone finds a German importer somewhere, please let me know. (actually funny, that we can't find any new Lugers in Europe).
p.s. Mauro, John,
Mauser still have all their archives in Oberndorf, these most likely include the original prewar drawings that were saved by Herr Weiss.
Copies of these original drawings, regarding to magazine production, were used to start up a new production line of magazines in the Netherlands, as mentioned earlier. Most of the archive material on Dutch production is now in the hands of Nico van Gijn. Part of this collection was an unused original extruded Haenel-Schmeisser magazine, sent by Mauser to the Dutch producer in order to help 'debugging' the new design.
