DG, just as a bit of a side note, for about 35 years that I have been gun smithing here, a customer and former co-worker has been bring in his 1900 commerical for a light oiling and check-up before it goes back in the case. He is not into Lugers but rather this was a gift from a long pasted uncle, if ever a gun was 99.99% mint this is it...it will within a few years I expect it will become mine, it is so beautiful, that picture will not most likely make it here, just because, well Luger collectors are not suppose to find such mint guns today, about the same deal with a Banner police, been "working" it for years and like the 1900 when he gets ready for the trip he wants to take to the mid-east??? not me....he will make it mine....but to post it and go through the gauntlet of comments....well, not me and selling items like this are more profitable, yep I said it...more profitable outside of LF....a nice site to surf, but not the stopping place some think it is.....I do not mean to offend anyone, Ed please remember I think the world of you, John my plans for next years back east trip include buying you dinner so don't forget we're friends.....but this is just a web site.....and 40 years ago I was visiting Datig on a weekly basis, to quote his works today is just wrong.
