I'm assuming that it is a standard Artillery model Luger with an 8" barrel. The sling swivel has been added along the line, and the gun, or at least parts, have been re-blued. The stock/holster is unclear to me, whether it is a modified Mauser C96 holster or a special made item for the Luger. I checked by coupling my artillery into a C96 stock, and while it will not go in, the length MAY be sufficient, very close. However the stock attaching iron is way different, so I'm guessing that it was a stock/holster mfg. for an artillery Luger. We see these from time to time but I'm not certain if their pedegree has been proven.
I'd be interested in seeing close-ups of the stock nose and the attaching iron, including numbers.
And again, thanks for sharing.
