That 1900 Luger is one of the earliest produced by DWM after the so called "test lugers" (# 7234) and comes with an original Ideal Company combination metal shoulder stock/leather holster. These stocks were patented in 1901 under Ross M. G. Phillips, L.A. CA and manufactured under the "Ideal Holster Co" in Los Angeles CA.
Apparently they were manufactured for only a very short time as the DWM factory eventually added a metal stock lug to the rear frame of every Luger pistol and developed their own walnut board stock.

Best regards
