1920 PARTS Navy Luger Carbine

IMHO, based solely on the photographs that have been displayed, I believe the gun, and all stock fittings are original, and PROBABLY falls within the ATFE C&R definition that has been mentioned previously. BUT, the stock and the forearm appear to be reproductions.

The checkering on the stock and forearm does not seem to ME to be up to factory standards. Still, all in all, it is a fine looking Luger and would certainly display well on MY wall.

The pic showing the back end of the fore-stock reveals lots of goofs in the checkering, mostly grooves that have run over the border line. Original "furniture" may not be perfect, but I think it would be better than this example.

Nonetheless, there's space available on my wall, too.
