I actually had in mind THE 1904 navy and not the .45 cal Luger. Therer have been numerous fraudulent copies of the 1904 navy which has got DWM on it and their have been numerous people taken in by the counterfeits for big money.

Then there is John Martz there is a guy who will produce Luger replicas in just about any caliber that you would want and you wil never ever hear me criticize that wonderful gentleman. I talked to him once over the phone and was truely impressed by his personality. His guns sell for big money but people are not taken in by his product because I don't think anybody would think that DWM ever produced a 38 cal Luger. Plus John has a patent on a safety that he perfected on his guns.

I have never met or talked to Mr Krause. I only know of him through one of my books. If memory serves me right, he was not allowed to use DWM on his toggle.
