Recently discovered documents prove that Vickers manufactured these guns from scratch in 1920 "
If SimpsonLTD, in their description of a Vickers luger for sale, know of such a document, then would they please shed light on it for the rest of the collecting community!

I too would appreciate it if Simpson's et al would provide this documentation to back up this claim.

Ed is correct that the possibility of a complete machine line to manufacture a Luger is not known in England and would have been horribly expensive to start up. Especially so given the few Vickers Lugers there are. Even German machinery was handed down from DWM to Mauser.
I believe Vlim is correct. DWM supplied Vickers with the parts, including some machines and tools/gauges for final production and quality control. In that case Vickers became the 'manufacturer' and Interallied Control Commission restrictions were avoided.

Information contrary to this would have to be much more extensive than "Recently discovered documents "
