Has anyone seen this on a 1906?

I agree with Bill about the grips. If this is a Dutch Luger, you may be best served to leave it alone. Most of these are found in pretty rough shape. We need more information on the gun before we can give you sound advice. Additional photos from all angles would ge helpful.

If the rest of the gun looks as bad as it appears in the picture why restore it?

Ha...thats exactly why!

Seriously, anyone skilled at TIG welding can fill that hole, just make sure they use carbon steel wire and leave a raised bead over the area ...you can file close to flush, then finish with emery cloth...after rust bluing, it should be unnoticeable
