| These were sold in the UK by companies like Battle orders .
Non firing modelgun produced by MGC ( I believe) for the export market ...in fact this was the first metal replica I had ( previously owned lots of plastic LS kits ) If memory serves the weak point on this is the back section of the upper receiver where the toggle section sits .....too much pulling the toggle back and letting go ( I was about 12 ) and it broke .
These are the same models as Richard is selling in the for sale section so he may have your trigger lever plate and locking switch.
All they had in the way of a cartridge was a solid brass bullet with case with a tiny hole in the end ( the cartridge was shaped a bit like the Marushin MP40 ones )
Hope this helps

| Here's mine with the previously mentioned bullets. As you can see, it's an RMI model, but may have been sold differently in other countries. | |

| How accurate are these replicas? As compared to the Marushin zinc models? An all black, metal Luger is needed..... | |

| As far as I know they are only a wall hanger, because of the solid cartridges. Unless of course something else is available.
All alloy with plastic grips, I find them pretty tough, but one of them that I have, has the little hooks inside the grips broken off where the toggle spring attaches. | |

| I have one which i believe to be the same although it has no markings and am very very happy with mine. Ok it doesnt(to my knowledge)fire any PFC caps but as a holster filler,wall hanger or functioning repro its great. As said before to anyone wanting spares/parts for these i have a box full of various Luger bits-all from unidentified makes but i have helped someone bring theirs back to life and all the parts fitted a treat | |
