A Luger is a very complex and precise pistol it could be built but would be very expensive. Think about what you pay for a new Sig which is a much less complex design and then double that maybe more.

Yeah, but most of the work could automated these days. With very tight tolerances.

Take apart a 1911 and a Luger then examine what you have on the table AND then think about what you pay for a quality 1911 TODAY. The Luger is going to be much more costly to produce than the 1911.

There still would be a market for it. And with modern manufacuring, it shouldn't be more than $1300 for one. The last decent luger I found was $1100 and 50 years old.

A decent modern Luger, produced to exact specs would be running at least 2500+
There is no such thing as a decent repro gun, they will always fall short of the original.
Repro M1 carbines, Repro 1911s, Repro M1 garands - none of them stack up.
The QC for the military in those days, combined with mfg methods, is such that it would be insanely pricey today.
Hell - those cheap Mauser surplus rifles are far better than any Remington/Winchester/etc that you will find on the market today.
The first 50 years of this century was the golden era of gun making.
