Saxman, it is a made up term of Lugers made during the 30's. No writing on the toggle, so some thought they were sneaks getting past the arms control commission. Newer thinking believes they are transitional from DWM to Mauser, so they were made up and no hidden agenda was really intended. But now, if the gun has few markings, then it is considered a "sneak" by most collectors.

That right guys?
