These Lugers were very well made. I doubt any corners were cut in their manufacture. They cost so much to manufacture that Mauser really could not sustain a business making them. They had to be priced well out of the market.

Ultimately, the last ones survived as commemorative models that could be priced for an adequate profit.

I have two, and they have excellent metallurgy, fit, finish and show quality workmanship.

All that said, they are not military firearms, and fill another collector niche.
