Re: Luger Manufacturers
Hi Folks,
I can think of a couple of others, or maybe two-and-a-half others.
There is the St. Etienne bicycle works in France. I suspect this facility only assembled Lugers from parts supplied by Germany, but who knows?
And there are the Pathan gun makers located on the Pak/Afghan border who have made some very credible Lugers, complete with German manufacturing and proof marks.
And there is always South-East Asia, where one can find copies of almost *anything*.
Of these two-and-a-half sources for Lugers I think only the Pathans were true manufacturers, at least in the sense of making all the parts they used in assembly. As an aside, there is a (probably) Afghani produced Webley currently being offered on Auction Arms at:
