There was a news article some years back about a group of young boys who found an old rusted .22 auto pistol in a field or yard...They took it to one's fathers workshop, clamped it in a vise, and tried to clean it up...They got the slide back and were trying to clear a round out of the barrel when it discharged...

I can't post to that Forum, but that is not an "Artillery Luger". The tangent rear sight would be mounted on the barrel, on a stepped section next to the chamber, in a ramped dovetailed box. The grip frame would also be notched on top where the barrel screws in. As mentioned, it would not have the toggle sight. It also wouldn't have the curious protrusion on the end of the barrel.

There's better pics, but here's one I leeched off GB...
