Again confirm that the gun is empty. Remove the magazine.
If you can press the muzzle against a firm but lightly padded surface, the barrel assembly should all push back just a bit. At that point you can turn the takedown lever down, remove the side plate, and slide the entire upper off the grip frame. From there removing the toggle should be easier.
If you search YouTube, there are a lot of tutorials on disassembling the Luger. And at this point I'd say that disassembly and inspection is appropriate. And do not force anything.
