That's why I asked about the frame's scale...
I was looking around in the meantime and found a post by our Ron Wood on Jan's forum:
"The "GL" marked "baby" Luger is the cut down 7-shot variation. It would be the pre-war "baby", a modification of a larger Luger and not one of original design. The true "baby" Luger was produced long after Georg Luger (GL) was out of the picture and was a new design in the 1920s.
According to Herr Weiss, there were at least four of the "baby" Lugers produced as toolroom prototypes, two in 7.65mm (.32 Browning) and two in .380 cal (9mm Kurz), with the possibility of enough parts on hand to construct a 5th example (caliber unknown)."
