Well, I think it's time to revive this rather old thread, with good reason:

The quality of the Luger group photo was quite bad, it was first published in the 1940s editions of 'Moderne Faustfeuerwaffen' and probably lifted from that book to be reused in Fred Datig's 'Luger' book.

Just recently, I was able to lay my hands on one of the original prints of the photograph that was used in Bock's and Datig's books. Since these old negatives are very, very good and sharp, it's possible to show the entire view in much more detail.

It is possible to work out that Georg Luger Jr. is holding a luger pistol equipped with a toggle lock, while Heinrich Hoffmann is holding one without a toggle lock. It is also clear that Baurat Meyer (sitting) is holding a revolver of some sort, as well as his doggy.

Georg Luger Sr. is only armed with an umbrella.
