The only picture I have ever seen with a telecopic sight on a luger was a very poor picture, but the mount was screwed into drilled and tapped holes on the large flat area behind the sideplate on the left side, and was offset to the left

IMHO this is the only practical mounting position, unless it is mounted far forward of the chamber and is a long eye-relief scope. If mounted in place of a grip panel (much like some colt 1911's) it would interfere with the toggle/loading procedure.

While the long eye-relief type scope mounted on the barrel would seem to be aesthetically acceptable, I doubt that the scope would survive the constant g-forces imposed by the movement of the toggle & barrel extension.

just my $0.02,
