luger basement find...

A slight correction, you have an Old Model 1900 Swiss military Luger. The guys are correct that it has some mis-matched parts. From what I can see the takedown lever and side plate are from different guns. What is really notable is that the forward toggle link and breechblock are of the New Model variety from 1906 or later. This is a bit of a coincidence since this is the second Old Model Swiss Luger with a New Model forward toggle link and breechblock that has been reported within a week.
