using CNC machine tools and a lot of hand and elbow grease. The design was reverse engineered (measured) from one of the two originals known to exist.<br />

This a a photo of one of Mike Krause)
If you want to see a few scenes about it's manufacture, the History Channel ran a documentary in their series: "Tales of the Gun, The Luger" in which the Krausewerk .45 is shown in some stages of manufacture.
This video is sometimes aired by the History Channel and is a great tape, even though there are a few historical inaccuracies... like that there is only ONE original .45 caliber Luger known to exist. This tape is also available for purchase at www.historychannel.com
