Toggle lock frame hold down thingy?

Bill,
The catch is actually fit into a "T" shaped slot in the frame rather than a dovetail, and silver soldered in place. I had a loose catch from a 1900 Luger that I wanted to photograph for you, but I can't find the darned thing among all my junk. I will keep looking, but don't hold your breath.

For the referenced pics/site, info, and maybe a 'lucky find', Ron. Making that little lever and machining the toggle was no small task for something that's relatively worthless.......but it's part of the gun. Those were some valuable pics, views I'd not seen before. Don't know how I missed that site, bookmarked now! I sure there is a good German word for that thing, vielleicht: Das Lugerborchardttogglemachininholdendowninfurnichts teil!
