I can find a period correct stock for it. It will be nice to have a stock, but stock in nice shape is expensive, and the number won't match anyway, so finding a stock is not my current priority. And..... who knows, if it was one of those 600 delivered to Persian, no stock is correct (although there was signs of an accompanying stock in its history, that could be a later add-on. Unfortunately, no way to tell without seeing it).

Visited Concord NH gun show today. Saw an ammo table had 6 boxes of 30 Luger ammo for sale, made by Remington, Winchester decades ago, still in original excellent shape. 50 round per box, wrapped in plastic wrapper. Asking $20 per box. The price was great! I thought I would buy all six boxes, but I only had $40 cash in pocket, so I went out and found an ATM fetched some cash and came back to the table. Only 20 minutes. Unfortunately, all six boxes disappeared. Sold to someone else.

Saw a copy of Vlim's book, "Parabellum is back", so I bought a copy.
