Looks like a sweet Colt.

I wish there were good quality Imperial and WWII Luger replicas for sale at a similar price.

That WW1 replica is sweet looking. It would be very hard for me to shoot if it was mine. With CNC machining available nowadays one would think that it wouldn't be too hard to make faithful replicas. OTOH how many of us would buy a replica when we could buy the genuine article for about the same price?
