I'll give y'all another question. I haven't fired this Luger since the late 70s though I clean and oil it regularly. It's the matching numbers thing. About a month ago I was plugging away at the range with a real sweet S&W Model 66 no dash when a guy next to me pulls a Luger out. It was one of those that had two years marked on it, 1916, like mine and 1920. Brother was this one nice, nicer than mine (commercial?) and after talking to him for a while he said, "care to shoot it?" I said not only yes but he** yes, you don't turn down shooting a Luger. Did quite respectable, let him shoot my 1972 MPD Model 66 and asked him "You shoot this, all numbers match aren't you worried?" His answer was, "Lugers are meant to be shot."

So would you shoot an all numbers matching 1916 DWM??
