What ammo?

What a cool thread! German steel vs. British steel vs. Austrian steel; I guess now I am completely confused!

When I bought my two 29/70's(1 in 9mm and the other in 7.65mm) a little over a year ago, I did so with the thought that because they were of recent manufacture they were very probably built of alloys that were far superior to the old WW1 and WW2 Luger alloys. Is this a correct assumption?

I bought my pistols to shoot! Am I wrong in assuming that these "late" Lugers are as safe or safer to shoot than the old WW1 and WW2 wartime Lugers?...........................
