Pete, This luger appeared on an H-H auction previously and caught the attention of Mike Krause. If it had the old type of Navy rear sight and was in 7.65 mm, then it would have been VERY interesting. This may be a reworked luger.

Doc,

The Argentine Lugers in my database all have 5" or 6" barrels, both .30 and 9mm.
