New production of Krieghoff

[lugerholsterrepair]

Gentlemen, The old methods of producing Lugers is gone forever. The men and machines that took the time and skill to produce an original are dead. Regardless of what maker mark is stamped on the toggle these pistols will always hold a different place in history than those made pre 1945. I cannot place a value judgement concerning them except to say they will never achieve the historical significance of an original. One could buy a very nice original for ten thousand Euro's.
Another thought creeps into my head...Winchester made some of the finest rifles in the World. When they farmed out the manufacture in 1965 the rifle was not worth having and those made today are a shell of their former selves. They might even be better but they are not the same.
I would reserve judgement untill I was able to see the new Krieghoff but I would not have great expectations. Perhaps I will be pleasantly surprised.
