This particular luger has arty sights. the entire barrel, slide, breach block, and toggle have matching numbers.

the lower reciever, or frame, the only number I can find is 2XX

there are no signs of this lower -ever- having a shoulder stock lug, nor are there signs of one being removed.

THe core of the problem is that when you 'charge' the toggle, and load a shell, the breech block fails to come all the way foreward. this results in the luger being out of battery. the only way to get the breech to fully close is to pull the trigger. This seems wrong, as the breech block is roughyl .8mm out of battery when this happens.

I can provide pictures if you like.
