Ever elusive parabellum rifles.

this serial nr. 4 looks very pretty, possibly a little too pretty, know any history behind it? How on earth does the toggle mechanism clear the stripper clip guide, it seems to be right over the front toggle pivot? I think mauser's toggle looked a bit more refined, with the added benefit of a charging lever on the right side, and the stripper clip guide built directly into the breechblock. sadly only the toggle remains, as he gave it to one of his workers as a gift after the courts forced him to scrap the project due to luger's intervention. seems to me that this nr.4 would be a real strain to cycle by hand without any type of lever, was it also built for the 7,92X57IS round?
