early collectable Krieghoff vs new production Krieghoff Parabellum

Back 2-3 years ago, there was an article in a gun magazine talked about the newly made Krieghoff. I forgot the magazine's name. According to the author, Krieghoff, as a company, is still in business, but not in pistol making business anymore. The new Krieghoff was made by a very capable German gunsmith (outside of the compnay), and the newly made pistol was authorized by the company to carry the Krieghoff name. Youtube had a video showing an American gunsmith made a small batch of .45ACP Lugers, the new Krieghoff was in similar concept, The price gap of new HK and old HK is not very big though, probably due to the new one carrying the company's name. It's not a product of that company's normal business production, the company helped on marketing.
