The "pocket" Lugers you refer to are actually custom alterations of full size Lugers. The grip frame was cut, a section removed and a welded/silver soldered back together. A shorter barrel was installed. One such custom piece was the personal property of Georg Luger himself.
The late John Martz used that concept to create his custom "baby" Lugers. I have finally acquired one of his masterpieces and I am particularly pleased that it was fabricated from a Model 1900 American Eagle...one of my favorites.
