The HS is clearly marked "Made in Germany" and the Lov box states "Made in Czechoslovakia", so you could suggest that either Lovena deliberately made a close copy of Schmidt's pistol, or that Schmidt made a deal witn Lovena and provided machinery and molds. The only problem with this is that this Lov 2 had a precursor which was identical in every respect to its later model, but had a molded thumb rest in the grip, something the HS never had.
