Anomalous New Model Parabellum production

[Ron Wood]

The pistol Dwight bought never had a stock lug. If you have seen dozens of Lugers with removed stock lugs the signs of removal are abundantly clear. To remove the stock lug with the resulting configuration of the gun Dwight has would require extensive welding, heat treatment and meticulous resurfacing and refinish...and to what end? Such a modification would not increase the value of the gun one iota.
