Unusual looking barrel

What you call a "block" behind the front side, is actually the tip of the spring loaded latch that must be depressed to screw off the enire front sight band/base. Under that band the barrel is threaded for installation of a silencer or suppressor...

I beleive I remember that this gun was previously in the collection of our benefactor and system owner, John D... and it has been sold since the photo was posted. As I recall, he didn't have the matching silencer in his collection... but then, this is all from memory...

A very interesting Luger indeed, and one that must have quite a story to go with it.
