Datig, in his revised/enlarged edition (p.305), relates information provided to him by August Weiss, the head of pistol production at Mauser/Oberndorf. He reports that in 1939 it required 642 machine operations (taking a total time of 78 minutes) and 136 hand operations (requiring 1 hr. 12 minutes), for a total of 778 different operations and 2 1/2 hours to produce a military Luger of normal specifications.
