It looks to me as if this pistol was crushed hydraulically along with other pistols or equipment. The forces exerted on that luger came from different directions. This would suggest multiple passes through the press (I doubt that), or more likely it was crushed in a pile.
I'd be surprised if that lake bottom wasn't littered with the remains of equipment (at least at one time).
