Great anecdote, Ron! The synchronicity of this hobby is sometimes spooky.

Ugh. That one Luger folding-stock should be labeled "Ugliest Luger Folding Stock Ever!"...

Although it was also made for pistols other than the Luger, it wasn't very successful and not many survive. It is ugly but functional, and the holster for the rig is exceedingly rare.

Once I shot a C96 with its stock, it felt surely more comfortable, but if you're not accustomed to the use of a stock can't be more accurate.
IMHO

Oh My God!!! WOW. Amazing collection. I hope they (either together or separately) continue to remain in the hands of worthy collector. I want one of those folding metal stock too!!! I'm sure there's reproduction ones for a shooter.
