Rick,

Nice pistol! You're grips are more reddish than mine and lighter on color. Mine are dark brown.

My EG re-work is in similar condition, but the parkerization is darker and it has no holster wear. I am also wondering if the EGs replaced the barrel, because the barrel shows alot more machining marks than the rest of the pistol, but has the same finish as the whole piece. It also has a bore that looks like a round has never gone down it. No way that went from 1918 through the Iron curtain years and the barrel is in that pristine condition.

I found an EG holster on e-bay and won it for 27 dollars...not bad, eh?

Now, I have heard that it is not adviseable to shoot my wooden based original magazine, because the base might crack...where can I find a new magazine that is reliable. I am not too cool on aftermarket mags for any pistols, due to past expereinces with 1911 and Hi-Power aftermarket units.

thanks,

brickboy240
