Hi, folks,
I am having a custom target Luger built out of a non-matching 1920 Commercial, with a 6" .30 Luger barrel. Since this is purely a fun project, I'd like to have the toggles machined to the early "dished" profile, as I find them more handsome than the later, flat, knurled style. Unfortunately, my gunsmith has no access to an original to use as a pattern, or good photos to guide him either. Could anyone here post good, close up photos of dished toggles from the side, top, front and rear, so he could get an idea of what he should be aiming for? Also, if any of our resident experts can recommend a specific cutter that would be good to replicate the dished toggle profile, that would be helpful! As this will be a shooter that will see a fair amount of use, if these cuts would reduce the longevity of the toggles, please advise and I'll reconsider. Thanks much for any help!
