only if the stock is attached.
You can own both, just not legally attach the stock, say if you were at the range.

Presently the regulations state:

Luger, DWM Pistol, model 1900, 1902, or 1906, in 7.65 Luger or 9mm parabellum cal., having the American Eagle chamber crest, and barrel lengths of either 4" or 4-3/4", with original detachable Ideal shoulder stocks and Ideal frame grips.

The ATF regulations should be modified to read this (the american eagle phrase taken out, as this would include all the models, because any of these could be bought at that time frame):

Luger, DWM Pistol, model 1900, 1902, or 1906, in 7.65 Luger or 9mm parabellum cal., and barrel lengths of either 4" or 4-3/4", with original detachable Ideal shoulder stocks and Ideal frame grips.

What it comes down to is that whomever first put in the request, I bet this was their wording because they had a 1900 AE or the like and never thought about the commericial variants sold in the USA at the time.
