Hi Clark, If you read the seller's description, you'll see that he calls it "an old reproduction". Regards, Norm

"While modern pistols like Luger and Colt keep the breech open with a push of a button,
the Borchardt needed a device pushed up into the magazine shaft to keep open the breech for inspection and cleaning."... Here's my question: What Luger button do you push to keep the breech open???
