What have I got?

No visible markings on the wood case. I am convinced it is not and never was a stock. Reason for this is shown in one photo. The cover will not close on a Luger with a stock capable grip. Take away the grip portion associated with the stock attachment feature and the cover would close. Looks like Bubba worked this over trying anyway only to discover that he would have to cut away latch mechanism to do it. Personal guess is that the case dates pre-WWI or perhaps to the 1920. The case appears to have been made specifically for the 10 inch barrel version.

Guess my basic question is: "Is this some high end collectable or just an odd piece with not particular collectible value?"

The pistol seen in the photos is one of the group exported with short 30 Cal barrels (1920's).
