I believe that your M1906AE was made prior to 1908, since the 1908 commerical began appearing in the 39xxx serial number range according to "Lugers at Random". I wouldn't be shy about removing any active rust with solvent and a wire brush and keep those areas well oiled to keep the rust from coming back. Be careful when removing the grip safety, not to break it's spring. If you do, I have replacements available @$35. I'M SURPRISED that no one has commented on the extra piece of metal on the inside of the mag well on the right side of the frame! This would appear to be some type of repair, as the bottom of the back strap also appear a bit odd. I've never seen this before. How about you" TH
