Rebuilt artillery luger

Marshall, there was considerable hand fitting done when Lugers were manufactured.

Switching out a breech block (toggle assembly) could end up changing headspace as well as the sear fit. If done by a competent Luger gunsmith, it would be fine...

Fine tune sites have a small screw that is turned by a very small spanner. Both the front and rear sights can come that way.

There would not be a rear site on the rear toggle of an Artillery...

Thanks. I know the ladder type sight is on the barrel. I have seen the tool for sight adjustment on GUNBOARDS. I think I will not buy this one. The replacement of the toggle sort of turned me off. I have a friend who I am trying to convince he wants to sell me his DWM 1923 COMMERCIAL, 7.65 mm. marked GERMANY on right side of slide

It's a little rough, but looks to be original.

Thank you again for your time and information.
