Abercrombie, made in France, fake or real?

Hi,

No lugers, ever, were made in France.

Well, perhaps one or two for the purpose of patenting the luger design in France. This had to do with a loophole in the French patent law, which stated that only designs produced in France could be patented there. Gun companies contracted engineers to build one-offs in France.

This A&F luger certainly wasn't made in France. A French made barrel makes more sense. But I'm not an expert on French barrel production.
