Eric:

I haven't seen actual records, but Reese (U.S. Test Trials/1900 Luger p.27) states that:

The pistols and magazines, along with accessories (cleaning rods, pin punches and takedown tools) were shipped to Governor Island, New York.

So I guess so! Since the test holster has no accommodation for cleaning rod, extra mag, punch or takedown tool, I guess it is no wonder we don't see these as they were scattered who knows where.
