Origin of Luger Animated Gif File?

In the animation the barrel/receiver group continues to move to the rear throughout the motion of the bolt/toggle action. Actually, the recoil lug on the bottom of the receiver would contact the frame and stop rearward movement of the receiver when the action is approximately 3/4 open. This is just after the ejector has contacted the spent cartridge base and ejection has started. The toggle then continues to the rear to eject the cartridge.

I think the safety lever was left in the safe position to make it easier to see the action of the toggle coupling link and bellcrank.
