Wow! This is what I call a â??story book Lugerâ?. If you could read all the information displayed, what a story it would tell.

I was a bit surprised that the stock lug looks very much like the later stock attachment style. However, I am still grasping at straws hoping that more details can be uncovered. Upon looking at the close up photo of the right side of the Luger, it appears that a detent may be machined into the top of the slot of the lug that would be engaged by the push-button catch. This would be a departure from the notch on the outer edge, but as you have pointed out, it appears that no two of these 10000-series have identical stock attachments. The lug definitely has had the cam notch cut into the back of the lug, possibly as a later modification to accommodate a standard stock. Or perhaps this one used the anterior cam notch originally. Who knows unless the original stock turns up?



I am not sure there is a â??flaming bombâ? proof on the chamber. Looking closely, most of the rounded marks look like various strikes of the â??2â? inspectors stamp.



Janne,
Thank you for the additional pictures. The safety modification was clever, but thankfully it did not require any modifications to the frame and the original type safety can be installed.
