There are a lot of things that I like about this one but at the same time a lot of things that I don't like as well.

I know during the post WW1 period Lugers built for export were put together from whatever parts were on hand so you will see just about anything. What do you guys think about this one?

At first glance, I said "it is simply a 1920's era export to the USA"

however, it is on a 1906 frame, which I missed Steve

So, either from parts (since the frame is 1906 and none of them were serial numbered with suffixes)

Unless its a contract that had an 'n' than it sure is not worth the asking price IMO

The write up says it is a 1900. This must be a really rare 1900 to have the later toggles and breech block.

The relief on the sear bar is interesting too. kinda looks like the late late grip safety of Simson 34/06
