Luger Frame

Well, the old world forgings required a lot more machining and were mostly just solid blobs before work started. So that rules them out, I guess.

I wonder how the Mitchell/Aimco/Orimar lugers were made? Casted and then CNC finished?

This is a (very crappy, sorry, 40-year old photocopy) view of a postwar Parabellum frame in the middle of production. Looks a bit like the one shown here. Could be that the frame was in the white and was coated with a protective layer somewhere along the route.

If anyone has a copy of the september, 1969, edition of Gun Facts magazine, it's on page 25.

If it is a Mauser version, it's for a commemorative (stock lug) and post-1971 (grip shape).
