A quote from Fred Datig in the Luger Pistol, Second Edition, page 305,,"Some very interesting technical data concerning the production of Luger Pistols was brought to light by Herr August Weiss, former luger production head at Mauser/Oberndorf. For instance, the number of machine operations necessary in producing a Military Luger of normal specifications was (in 1939) 642. Each group of 642 operations averaged an elapsed time consumption of 78 minutes. Of hand operations for a givin pistol, the total was 136 which required an elapsed time of one hour and 12 minutes. Consequently, it required a total elapsed time of two and a half hours in which to perform the 778 combined machine and hand operations necessary to produce the finished product. Page 305~
