Default New project: 1902/06 fat barrel 9mm look alike

This is a real "bitser" or Franken-luger, all pieces picked up one by one or in a parts deal. Based on a Brazillian frame with a new barrel from Lugerman turned to 1902 fat barrel profile.

Early 1900 type scalloped toggle, cause I like the look. An extra layer of padding on the grip safety, as my hand is large and needs some "filler" to depress fully in a normal hold. Marble or King old style bead sight, to sort of match up with the reduced height of the rear sight- why someone did that to a nice early toggle - who knows.

Came to life in its current configuration this week, and shoots nicely.

Perhaps some day I'll "luck" into a real 1902, but until then, this is likely as close as I'll get! Probably shoots better or more reliably anyway- with the coil mainspring of the '06 rather than the leaf spring of the 1900.
