Any Modern Day Brand New Lugers?

Are there currently any companies out there that are producing NIB (New In Box) Lugers? The reason being is that while I love shooting Lugers, the two I have are old and I would prefer not to fire them. If something would break I would not know how to fix the problem and of course a very small part (no pun intended LOL) of history would be lost.

If there are not any modern day makers of the Luger, can we expect the Luger itself to die a slow and painful death, as gradually the number of Lugers dwindle down?

The 1911 is nearly just as old as the Luger but has a much, much, much stronger following and nearly every modern gun company makes a 1911. No one to my knowledge makes a Luger. And thats a shame to me, because in many regards the Luger is a better weapon. The grip is perfect for me, and I love the trigger. It really amazes me why the 1911 took off so much, while the Luger was pushed into the "collector" catagory. Technically speaking both weapons have similar capacity and the Luger has the better grip angle and in my opinion a better trigger. Why do competitors prefer the 1911? What caused the 1911 to reign supreme over the Luger?

Thats enough with my rant, I would like to know if and where I could purchase a brand new Luger to take to the range. Thanks everyone for your help!
