What is this stock ??
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Luger-Pistol...UAAOSwqfNXnKH2
The seller says this is a fantasy item, but I already saw the same wood stock in the Museum of Technics in Berlin a few years ago. I don't think German specialists would display a fake in their museum... Can anybody tell more about this kind of stock please ? Thank you. PS: the leather part is not a fake (Maury & Co). christian |
It's for a Japanese toy / replica pistol.
And, yes, current day European museums are dumb enough to put toys in their display cases. I remember seeing a Portuguese Byf 42 with holster on display in a museum in Luxembourg, being presented as a WW1 Imperial luger... And worse... With a bit of fiddling, these toy versions will actually fit a real luger. But the metal is too soft to be of any real use in the long term. They also exist as 'telescopic stocks' and 'artillery stocks'. |
Gerben...thank you for the information. I will be much more suspicious now when I visit our museums, even in Germany. Anyway, the Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin is really fantastic !
