What is this.......?

I saw this on ebay, advertising a repro holster.
I have never seen a Luger like this before.
Does anyone know what it is..........?

All the best,
Steve.

This is a reproduction non firing Luger "non-gun" ... an expensive toy or paperweight...

John, that's a pretty authentic looking repro. What details give it away, perhaps lack of any markings?

Dead give away is the nut & bolt through the take down lever

OK, I noticed the take-down looked a bit odd - but didn't realize it was a NUT. Is the left-side view likely to be more revealing, or is the bolt welded/brazed to the back of a normal-looking takedown lever?

Thanks John and others.......
Thought it looked strange, a cross between a replica and a real one.
Or just one that someone had butchered.
I noticed the take-down lever, also the dodgy looking ejecter bar, the lanyard loop looks as if it has been pushed in too far, and the reciever is hanging out of the back of the frame......

All the best,
Steve.
