Norinco Luger at Simpsons

I would agree with the more positive comments in this thread. As a historian of antiquity and a collector, I appreciate thoughts of some who do not see the point of 'non-genuine' things (though I question what 'non-genuine' or 'not pure' might mean) but different strokes for different folks. A Norinco Luger would have been interesting in mass production and thank you for telling us about it, nukem556. Had I the money then I would certainly have liked it in my own collection as a representation of the enduring fascination people have with the Luger. If Mauser and Norinco could have made an affordable product available even better. Alas, all we have is their aftermath.
