Hi Jerry,
You are of course correct on the cost and the end product...I did not think it through very well...
If the original's carried a luger on the right side with the butt forward, then this "conversion" may have been done for a left-handed shooter who wanted to carry on the left side with the butt forward...???
Or maybe and more simply, it is/was a factory reject that someone had assembled inverted and it was not noticed until the end-of-the-line on the factory floor...
Regards,
Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
