I'd be happy to pay the shipping to get rid of it! JMHO.:cheers:

I bought this pistol at auction without knowing about the strange things that exist in this Luger . i was aware that it is a 1906 Commercial frame and mis-matched 7 inch shortened barrel . The two toggle links match the frame . Obvious good project gun or parts gun . I have no idea what to think of the oddities ?

First is the receiver / barrel extension does not have a hole in the back for the toggle axle pin , and there are no proofs or serial number . This part also has a small flat across the chamber from front to back . This part is also fully period type blued and does not look like it was scrubbed of any old markings .

Second is the breech block is in the white and not completed in the manufacture / making machining , and no markings .

Third is the brass rear sight base and the locking bolt that is a composite piece of copper and brass pinned together ; also the breech block pin is brass . These parts all show quality manufacture .

Hey glad to see you here. I would speculate this barrel assembly was liberated from a factory and maybe along with other parts. Who knows. The cut down barrel is typical of some WWl artillery. The fact there are no holes for an axel makes me think in was probably in a factory junk pile after WWl. The unfinished breach block again suggest to me a factory liberation. Joe Kent:bigbye:

Yes, send it back!
The seller was less than honest in his description "toggles work"!
Impossible without the rear hole!

Even if you added the rear hole, you have no idea if this unfinished receiver is heat treated at all! "

I CALLED the FFL Dealer that sold me this Luger and pointed that out , so he sent me a shipping tag !
So THANK YOU SIR for pointing that out . I'm still out shipping my way and the transfer fee though ......

Eat the shipping costs and be rid of that mess
