Do you know what size/pitch the thread is??? It shouldn't be hard to make up a Luger-style front sight to screw on. Or you could swap out the barrel.

No I do not. But, I would be curious to know the thread size/pitch on the Luger's that do have the screw on front site. I have only seen one picture of a Luger like that.

If the threads are the same at least I could look for and maybe add that front site.

This is the only picture I could find with a screw on site. This is not a pistol of mine, from the net.
I think the tab behind the blade is a release tab that locks into a groove on the barrel.

This pistol shown with the removable front sight band revealing the barrel threads was once owned by the forum owner, John D. I remember that he traded or sold it many years ago... The gun had absolutely no markings which lead me to theorize that it had been "sanitized" for intelligence duties... No idea where it is today.
