The frame stock attaching lugs are somewhat bizarre, but appear to be effective. Either the original stock lug was ground off or it is a pre-lug frame. The smaller lug was evidently added to keep the stock from twisting. The large lug has a groove filed in it to lock the stock in place. No sliding lug slots at all.

Pics aren't detailed/clear enough to see exactly how it locks up but I get a rough idea of how it would work.

Oil is seeping into the left grip.

Mec-Gar magazine??? Plastic bottom looks like it.

I think Jerry's estimate of value is generous.

Thanks for the input!

It's been my observation that new members with questions of originality or authenticity already have valid suspicions about their Luger in question. This is a good example - You already suspected it was not original and wished to reinforce that suspicion with opinions from more knowledgeable Luger collectors. I'm surprised that Don or Dwight haven't voiced their concerns, but you've gotten a couple good opinions already.

How about some clearer pics of the frame lugs, the stock attaching iron, and the frame with forearm removed??? That should elicit more comments.
