    Pre-War German Luger .22 Conversion Kit

    What is that "slab" like part used for?

    Have no idea. It is not part of the original equipment. That slot is meant to store the ejector which must be removed from the receiver after removing the toggle train, to allow the barrel insert and .22 cal toggle train to be inserted into the receiver. The soldier was instructed to place the ejector in that slot so as not to lose it.

      I wonder. Moreover, both parts have the same matching serial nr

        Please! You wonder what? You cannot see that the numbers struck on that piece of metal were double struck and different font? Do you own a Luger or have you ever seen a conversion kit before? I have owned several and have a copy of the Heer manual and Police manual. The ejector must be removed to use the kit. The slot was created to hold the ejector so it wouldn't be misplaced.

          Joe, take it easy, I didn't mean to offend you or your knowledge. I don't own the kit and I was just asking. Lugers are not my area of expertise. Thank you for explaining everything. Jacek

            Sorry if I cam off flippant. If you google ".22 erma conversion kit" you will see many images of the erma Luger and rifle conversion kits. There is only one image of a pre-war Luger conversion kit with the piece of metal in that slot. And it is another image of the one you posted. All other images show the slot empty.

              The slot should be empty, it's intended to hold the pistol's ejector when the conversion unit is installed.

                  So . . . do we have any idea what this mystery piece of metal is for? Someone, somewhere, at some unknown time, must have believed this piece somehow related to the conversion kit and, thus, numbered the mystery piece to match the conversion kit.

                  Any ideas?

                    Well the most logical explanation is that the owner of the kit wanted to sell it and didn't know what the slot was for and not wanting a "missing" piece, created the little piece of metal and numbered it to the set with a different die set.
