Think your right . I believe they have just designed a new lightweight version, but the principle remains the same. She is just sooo good , every attempt to replace her altogther has failed.

Already I'm looking for a WWII to go with my 1918 DWM.
HAPPY B-DAY!

Another piece of interesting but useless bit of information, is that apart from the fact they are both recoil opperated , John browning specifically designed the BMG to be recoil opperated but not to infringe the Maxim patents- with the toggle lock, shared by Luger .

Which brings us to another interesting point -- Maxim being an American , there is a significant bit of American ingenuity in our much loved Lugers !!

I wonder if the Luger manufacturers , DWM etc had to pay royalties to Maxim - surely must have come up in topic before ??
