"Model 1913" reproduction stocks --such as this one on ebay--were being offered at last December's SARS show in Phoenix. The same vendor was also offering repro. Carbine stocks, and one called the "Parabellum C-96 Type". I picked up the flyer and stuffed it in the backpack we drag around the show to haul such things--just dug it out last night.
The "C-96 Type" was a new one to me. The literature states it is a copy of the "shoulder holster originally offered in the 1929 Stoeger Catalog". It appears very much like a Broomhandle stock, only lengthened to accomodate the LP-08's barrel. I've never seen any reference to this type of stock, but I'm relatively new to LP-08's. . .
All of the "retail" prices listed on the flyer were less than the ebay winning bid price. . . guess I should have laid-in a couple for resale!
