David, Yes a closeup photo might fool you into believing it's a real pistol! After all that work I wonder why they put the DWM on the toggle with a hand held electro pencil?

These miniatures are made in Russia and are pretty good, and functional! They will chamber a dummy round from the magazine when you operate the action. They are not a super quality fit and finish like some of the Swiss made miniatures, but they cost a lot less too. The stock lug is an abomination, as is the general configuation of the butt of the grip, but then you get what you pay for. All things considered, it is a decent item for the money. Their miniature Borchardts are also a thing of beauty...wish I had the spare change to pick one up!
