Late Model Interarms Mausers

I realize that this question has surely been asked and answered before, but I've had some difficulty finding answers in the archived posts.


What does the membership here think of the 70s vintage Mauser/Interarms Lugers in a qualitative sense? I realize that collectibility is not among their virtues, but what of their fit, finish and functionality?


It seems to me that, assuming they were well made, these pistols might be a worthwhile alternative for Luger enthusiasts who have little immediate desire or ability to really involve themselves in the collector's market.


I can still recall visiting Interarms in the late 70s and being captivated by a "cartridge counter" variant in the display case. There seems to be little contemporary information available on these pistols, and I'm simply wondering how well they were made, how closely they replicated the earlier commercial pistols, and what sort of tooling was used to produce them.
