Not in any "dealer's" defense... but it could also be a carbine that had been repaired with a commonly available toggle part from a military Luger... long before the dealer ever saw the gun.

Of course, had I been the gunsmith, and I haven't done any public gun work in decades, I would have carefully machined off the original rear sight, and reblued the toggle just to be "correct"...

Nice catch Mike!
