Welcome to the ODT but I have a couple of questions. I'm not simply being snarky, I'm genuinely curious.

Was this a hobby project or a business venture? Helwans are not highly thought of or sought after pistols here in the U.S. (at least to my knowledge). They are usually very inexpensive. When you consider the costs involved in manufacturing a component for such a 'thin market' pistol(s), what volume must you sell to recoup your investment in the development & manufacture of them? 100? 200? 1,000?

Your efforts are sure to be appreciated by owners of pistols that may otherwise be paperweights.

Thanks again for doing this.

Helwans USED to be cheap. Like when I used to see them at Arvin's and what used to be JD's Pawn ( Howard's Pawn) . But in recent years they have been priced out of practicality.
But I do get your point about it not being a very popular or commonly seen model. Maybe it's more popular in Europe and other countries.
