Dick -

I don't have either attaching iron, but I did just take a couple measurements with my verniers, and I believe a Luger stock iron will fit a Lahti (or can be 'fitted') but a Lahti stock iron won't fit a Luger.

The big difference in dimensions is in the base of the "T" - The Luger is wider. The Luger iron might be a 'sloppier' fit on the Lahti (and the locking notch is in the wrong place) but I think it could be fit. I've been told that Luger attaching iron often needs 'fitting' and repros even more so, but 'fitting' a Luger iron to a Lahti shouldn't be any more work.

That's just my general observation. There's an original Luger arty stock iron on GB right now, but for $195 it can stay there...I can buy an entire repro holster, board stock, straps & pouch for that much...

I'll wait for a repro.
