My latest and greatest imperial

2 Attachment(s)

Purchased this one about 5 days ago. I can't tell if there has been some toucheup/reblue here or if it's just in quite good condition. I'm also curious about the tool marks on the rear part of the frame. Where there's usually circle tool marks, I see straight lines. Is this normal? Grips match but no matching magazine. Overall, I think I'm pretty happy with it!

As always, I'm a fairly new collector so any input, either good or bad, is appreciated :)

Hi James,
I see no issues with your 1916 DWM, in fact it looks like a particularly nice example.
Regards, Norm

Looks good; but pictures of the inside of the frame and of the receiver from the bottom when apart will also help tell the story.

Norme and kuru, thank you! I always like hearing this and it means I'm actually learning something with my time here :)

Don, good idea. I'll have some pictures up shortly

Very nice!!!
Did you just "happen upon it?"
Or were you looking hard for another addition to your collection?
Nice purchase :)

Now you need a matching holster!

Guns are like women, I never get tired of looking at them!

I thought you photos were particularly well done - care to share your techniques ?

Well, it was for sale here on the forum! The pictures had an odd filter/tint to it so maybe that threw some folks off, or they just didn't want a 1916 ;)

Haha! Well, nothing too special. I took these photos in high definition resolution on my Samsung galaxy s6, in the shade while the sun was out, around 3pm. I'm an amateur for sure.

Do you happen to have one? ;)

Well.... a nice endorsement for Samsung, and for the photographer:)
You can certainly be very happy with this one!
Even better if you could find that matching mag!

How do you handle lighting? I find this is often the most important factor!
