That is a nice pistol, no doubt there were many 'bring backs' in Britain once upon a time. However, with the fear of a Bolshevik revolution in the Britain, (and much of Europe), following the first world war, the UK firearms act of 1920 was introduced. that began our 'slippery slope' to complete gun control and eventual ban on private ownership of handguns.

Would I be right to say that the introduction of the Lange Pistole Model 1908, (LP08), which was approved for issue fitted with stock lugs, coincided with the introduction of stock lugs on all army luger frames? Makes sense it would have simplified production with the war looming, so standardisation all the army luger frames with all of them being fitted with stock lugs, would have done that.
