1918 DMW, rough shape
 

Everything appears to match but the side plate. Finish is all but gone. Lots of pitting

Needs some bondo. ;-)

Is that your shooter?

Not sure. I might make a project of it to remove some pitting and refinish it ,as the pitting is generally shallow and not near any of the proof marks. It would be a fun project but I have no experience rebluing anything or removing pitting.
Then again I may sell it to put the money towards a different luger. Don't know yet, what do you fine gents think?

A great shooter.
Removing that pitting would be pretty futile-some is so bad it would need filling in and buffing-much more work here than value.
Resale low on this piece, but 5-6 hunnert easy.
Shoot it.

The pitting is severe.

When I was a kid, a few little friends in the neighborhood exchanged our thought on food. One kid told us that he only ate "lean pork without fat"; another kid said "fat is Ok, I can eat fat, but I don't eat pork skin"; yet the 3rd kid expressed "pork skin is eatable, but if it has fur on it, I could not eat it" (that's me :)). The very last kid "I don't care it has fur or not, everything is fine with me".

For guns, bad pits are very hard to handle, buffing is not enough, need welding.
