[quote]However, I have heard from several folks that DWM could not have possibly made intricate, detailed "dove-tailed" joints in the Early luger period.
Specifically related to the .45 luger carbine; that the stock lug attachment detail to the frame of the .45 carbine was not "possible" in the early 1900's...

That is probably one of the best examples of hogwash I have heard in a while. Who in the world would say such a thing with a straight face? Have any of them looked at the front sight on a Luger? Also, as can be seen in your photo, the "T" slot for the toggle latch on a 1900 model is every bit as intricate as a simple dovetail.
