Oooppps. That was sloppy of me. Make that "a 1914 Commercial."

Import marked, refinished, DDR rebuild FrankenLuger. That said, one of the better EG rebuilds (they made a good attempt to scrub and renumber parts salvaged from junked Lugers). Toggle pin is mismatched. Rear toggle link still shows a faint Erfurt inspection stamp. Side plate and locking block appear to be original (numbered in commercial style w/correct number), but had serial numbers added in the military style. Magazine is matching, but likely a DDR replacement. Magazine body clearly DDR, VEB Ernst Thalmann State Enterprise production.

Still, it would make a good "filler" in a collection until said collector could find a better example.

I'll try and get some more pictures up that show all this.
