Antony, as Ron mentions you can't put a stock onto your Luger without changing it's firearm classification in the eyes of the ATF.

You should not possess a stock either since having it and the Luger could constitute "intent"...

A "short barreled rifle" is treated the same way as a machine gun by US law.

If you have an original Artillery luger you can attach an artillery stock.

If you have an original Navy luger, you can attach a navy stock.

Both combinations are specifically exempted by the ATF allowing collectors to own those specific curios.

You can obtain reproduction holsters pretty economically. Finding original holsters made for a commercial Luger may be fairly costly. Original military holsters run in the $200 range and more. Same thing on the loading tools. The reproduction holsters often include a reproduction loading tool.
