I see that poster displays the very rare long-barreled left handed Luger! :D

I think the illustrator probably drew that Luger from a photograph and worked under the assumption that both sides of the Luger look the same...

I once had a "mirror image" long barrelled luger that had the side plate, sear & TD lever on the on the right side. It probably was a "Kyber Pass Special" since it was a single shot (you had to pull back the toggle to load each round from the magazine, and chambered for .30 M1 Carbine. Sold it many years ago. TH

That must have been some grip to try to get your hand around!
