East German Lugers?

You always hear that it simply is not worth it to make jigs, machinery, etc., to just make a couple of hundred lugers. Gibson essentially says that 10k was barely enough to break even, but was looking for more contracts for different items.

I am much more inclined to think they used parts (I know, dieter states that they are new manufacturered). They used parts to make up a couple of hundred. Or they are from assorted parts and hand-made in the workshop guns...

I am unsure, and would like to own one of these DDR made lugers...
