Michael, I cannot take credit for the sideplate. If you look at some of the first posts I said we were going to REPLACE the side plate and take down lever, they were BEYOND my talents. "No welding, no engraving, change out the take down and sideplate " but thanks for the kind words.

That's what I get for not reading the original post again before making a new reply! Your work was simply that stunning, Ted. Still, the pistol is beautiful. I can't wait to see the fully finished product.

Default Wow!

The "in process" photo on the previous page is amazing! The edges are straight and crisp, surfaces are smooth, how do you do it? I am very impressed! This is a great combination of skill and art.

I can't wait to see the completed project.

This Luger is finished. Here are the two sides. Looks way better to my old eyes. This sure is fun.
