Ed - The hunt was long and difficult, it took me all these years to find one. I have seen only one other, which was a couple of years ago at the Tulsa show. Unfortunately, someone had already purchased it before I found out about it.
Herb - Yes, it has a hold open device, original not added. I have a 1914 Commercial in the 73,000 range, just about identical to the 1913 except no grip safety so the sear bar is relieved for the thumb safety rather than the grip safety angle. They make a nice pair.
Doubt seriously that I will make the Reno show - too far to drive and Luger purchases have impacted the travel money. It comes down to two choices, go to see the nice Lugers or stay home and buy them.
