No, it's not an original, but an exact hand-made reproduction, right down to the intertwined "GL" monogram on the exposed rear of the action. I do not recall the name of the person who made it, but my friend told me that he is no longer in the business. These reproductions are really incredible, and like the originals, are also incredibly expensive. I was privileged to handle and photograph this one.

Some other exceptional Lugers owned by my friend are posted in the albums section of the forum.
