Crafted from a single piece of solid walnut and finished with walnut wood Gun-Stock
oil, this A.F. Stoeger 1920s early 1930s Artillery Luger Holster-stock is a stunning
copy/example of post WW1 craftsmanship.

Specifically designed for the Long barrelled Luger Artillery pistol, this holster-stock
can also be attached to the grip lug of any short barrel Luger pistol for added versatility.

The unique design allows for the pistol to be stored inside the stock when not in use,
making it a practical and stylish accessory for any Luger pistol owner looking to preserve
the appearance of their firearm collection

Historical Data and information
The earliest information that can be found on the solid-body holster stock was,
written by the late Fred A. Datig in the first 1955 printing of his benchmark,
limited printing,special private edition (#780) book on Lugers titled: THE LUGER BOOK
(Pistole Parabellum),Copyright © 1955 on page 177 where he states: A very scarce stock
is the hollow-holster stock which resembles, to some extent, that used in conjunction
with the Mauser Military pistol. As with the Mauser, the Luger holster-stock has a wooden,
hinged lid which is held shut by means of a spring loaded catch. Upon pressing the catch,
the lid may be opened and the pistol (8 inch barrel) inserted, leaving only the grip of
the pistol protruding3. Datig is describing what is now known as an example of late 1920s
early 1930s “aftermarket” versions of holster-stocks for the Luger with standard turn-lever
attaching irons, similar examples being offered for sale by A.F. Stoeger in their 1929-1930
catalog and 1930/31 winter catalogs. Picture is the 1928 Stoeger catalog ad with its
conspicuous lack of the No. 750 item description of the “Combination wooden stock and holster
for the Luger vs. the 1930 Stoeger catalog addition of the No. 750 description, both in the
numbered item list to the right and the added paragraph text description to the left, with
the initial ad for the Luger holster-stock first appearing in the 1929 Stoeger catalog and
last or final ad being in the 1932 Stoeger catalog, apparently not a popular item,
discontinued in only four years. Due to its lack of popularity back in the 1930
the holster-stock has become a rarity today amongst Luger Collectors thus commanding
premium value today when they come up in auction or private collections which is seldom.
