Re: DWM Luger
J Peppers makes an important point about grips--watch out when removing the left grip--be sure to slide it downward on removal to avoid chipping. I gently push out each grip from the inside bottom with my finger. Holding the pistol upright enables gravity to work with you and the grip falls downward and pops out.
Bill--I am glad to hear the 20's commercials are usually unnumbered under the grips. I don't have a 20's DWM to know this but have seen lots of unmarked grips. I did not know if these were original or replacements of the 1930s and 40s. Were ANY 20s DWM lugers numbered under the grips? If so, I want to know if they had the small or large (Mauser-like) digits.
thanks,
dave
