A Chinese company made casts from the Marushin Browning 1910 (I know, because Marushin's name is still on the slide! I own an ABS "original copy" as well.) and used them to produce die-cast zinc copies, which were chrome plated. They "look right" (aside from the absence of the grip safety) and they weigh approximately the same as a real Browning. The DOWN side, is that.... they're gas table lighters, intended for lighting after-dinner cigars! ull the trigger, and you get a couple of inches of flame from the end of the barrel! They're actually rather GOOD lighters, largely unffected by wind. (I'm a pipe-smoker, that - for me - is a major consideration!) If you're interested... PM me! We're tlking about a chromed zinc copy made from a Marushin M1910, complete with the original cardboard/styrofoam packaging, and the original (polystyrene) stand, for it to sit on in the middle of the dining table.
