Thanks for your comments, I think this is the answer.
Shadow & Johnny,
After trying it, gingerly, on my Luger, it appears that this was probably the mistake which caused the rear toggle damage. From Leo's comment, above, where he states that 3 of 18 Lugers of his have the same damage marks, one would suspect that this was not an uncommon mistake . . . probably an easy mistake to make in a trench warefare environment.
Thanks for your comments, all.
Luke
