Waschbaer,
If you have an early (1900) Luger with dished toggles but has no toggle lock and was never machined for one, you have a very uusual Luger indeed. If it is one of the modern commemorative Lugers made in 2000 from stainless steel, they were made up merely by machining a "dish" on the back portion of standard toggle knobs to make them look like the 1900 style. These modern repros do not have the toggle lock.
