Another .45 Caliber Luger Mystery

[Vlim]

Hmm,

Interesting concept. By reducing the number of rounds (and using some slightly more blunt-tipped round) someone managed to retain the original magazine length, thus retaining the default frame.

Markings appear to be the standard DWM inspection marks. Indication that a standard DWM frame was used.

I wonder why the sideplate has been redesigned. Probably to hold a longer lever, but this would mean that the sear bar has also been modified? There appears to be some extra milling done on the left outside of the frame. Would love to see pictures of an exposed receiver side, the sear bar and the inside of the side plate.

All in all, I think the balance of this pistol isn't going to be very good and I also don't think the frame and the receiver will have a long life if this pistol would be fired frequently. After all, these were the parts modified by Georg Luger in his trial version, and I don't think he did that just for fun
