Herb, things looked too nice in the two pictures, so I asked for more pictures.
The right hand side in the first pictures were small and they looked very smooth - in this area by the rear part of the toggle / the care was not to make it clean as a whistle. I understand it is an earlier commercial P08, so perhaps it was sanded better. But that is WHY I asked for better pictures.
Some folks are awfully quick to point out very nice guns that are over 100 years old - its strawing is very nice. Not that it is not possible, but things usually fade over 100 years. And yes, the bad guys have been restoring since the 50's and 60's. Lets say 1962 - that is 50 years ago.
