Jerry:

Sorry, that sounds like a "Luger myth" to me. They made a bunch of Lugers without the stock lug up until late 1913. If "the machining process for the frame required a place to hold onto and position the piece," how did they manage to make all those Lugers without stock lugs? Since they started adding the stock lugs to all Lugers after the LP08 was accepted and just before LP08 production was begun, it seems much more likely to me that the stock lug was put on all Lugers so that an LP08 could be made on any frame. Also, so that any Luger out in the field could use a stock if it was required.
