Yes, it was re-issued for WWII. I would imagine it was not for front line troops. I've seen several examples of holsters for the LP08 that were set up without the provision for the shoulder stock.

Re: Arty Luger?
About a year ago I met a man who had dived on a German wreck off the Swedish west coast in the early 1970's. It had sunk during the invasion of Norway. He found a sealed box containing a dozen wrapped and oiled artillery Lugers in near perfect condition. As it happened, German veterans were in the harbour when he returned, and one of them saw the box. He sold the guns for the equivalent of $30,000.
