Hi,

These also appear sometimes as black and white posters. Bought and framed one of those a couple of years ago for about 1 EUR.

If my memory serves me well, these pictures were not 'official' but rather commercial publications by a German firm in the first part of the 20th century, in fold-out form.

They are nice, since the illustration shows some hybrid versions (without stock lug and with dished toggles, but with a coil spring and conical 9mm shells). I bet that the one who drew it, never saw a luger in his life and based it upon several sources.
