Update : 1914 DWM Artillery luger project, now with Art. bbl.

To me it deserves a full restoration.

As for moral issues, as long as you don't fool anyone, it's a non issue.

Don, your new and improved artillery Luger looks like a nice project. As for restoration, I don't know much (although that never stops me from offering my opinion), but I would suggest you do a complete restoration. I mean like the whole enchilada.

Kurusu,
Thanks for the comment; the question is not if "I" fool someone, but down the line "someone" will or may try to fool a buyer that does not do his homework using this and other online resources.

If I wanted to fool anyone, I would not have started this thread.

I could always engrave the back of the side plate with the fact, and date of restoration. Perhaps not a bad idea; or some other spot on the "inside", I guess a side plate is too easy to change.
