Just out of curiosity, how did this product come about? I remember when these things hit the market, and I recall asking the same question. Did they actually tool up to make Lugers from scratch, or did they come into a set of tooling from some source? There must have been some number of complete Luger factories in existance in the 1940s, pehaps these guys found one for sale?

It does not appear that this product did very well, the fact that they didn't work very well probably didn't help. And the decision to go with stainless steel... well.
