In addition to gew 98s I also collect German automatics. Here is one I picked up last week, very pleased with this one. The pistol itself is all matching, the magazine is from a 1914 or earlier Erfurt Luger.

It doesn't have a stock lug but does have a hold open. I presume one must've been added, if it wasn't built with one. This pistol had seen police duty after the war so I imagine it might've been added then, if not before!

On the right side of the gun, if there is a acceptance stamp below where the hold open pin is located, it was added in the imperial era.
 
Very nice example. Had an Erfurt myself but unfortunately reblued. Still in the 70s only cost me $260.
