Any have an idea?

Mike,

That is a very odd Luger. It looks as though it was possibly converted as a chamber/cartridge pressure test piece. The front of the receiver has been milled off to add the thicker chamber segment of the barrel. This would also account for the lack of a front sight, since it wouldn't be needed.

If the "bring back" document shows it as "SN 24", it would add credence.

BTW, the holster is for a Polish Radom. These are desirable by themselves. It's not uncommon to find "Bring Backs" with Radom or P.38 holsters.
