Attempted to post photo below, these were made as a aftermarket item in Germany,the one pictured is in Sterling

silver fitted to a Astra 400{1921}.I believe these were

special ordered for presentation purposes.I dont have a photo of the Luger device,however it probably closely resembles the Astra device.I am guesing the mid 1930"s,

and I have lost the name ,however it was a famous jewler in Berlin. He also made other itms of weapons related interest,

using Silver / nickle combination of metals.

It is my personal opinon, I highly dought the item shown

on E-bay came out of a ww2 time weapons factory or earlier.

I am more inclined to think it is post 1950/job shop.A lot

of imformation I have collated came from my dad who was a

Ww2 combat veteran who served Germany and other countries.

He was in some captured arms factorys in Suhl,and another

friend of his helped blow open a safe in a luftwaffe factory.Gotta go eat dinner now, hope this helps some.
