Luger stock lugs - Originally fitted to stock?

Alf,
This has been a frequenly asked question. There have been lots of "reasons" given ranging from "the machinery was set up to product that type of frame, so they never bothered to change it" to "it was used in later production as a means to fasten the frame in a jig for subsequent machining operations". The truth is, nobody really knows, but it is nontheless a fact that no 4-inch barreled Lugers were issued with a shoulder stock (at least not in Germany).
