Hello everyone!

I just got my first Luger (1916 DWM, all #s match [img]smile.gif[/img] )....very nice, I'm quite happy with it; I have one question so far:

The wooden grips seem to be ill-fitting, especially along the front of the frame. There seems to be a small "ledge" between the wood and the steel, perhaps 1/32" or so...and the grips are a tad loose (they shift front-to-back a tiny bit)

Is this how they're supposed to fit, or is something loose or worn?

Thx...also one other minor question: "strawing"...is the gold color supposed to be very light (almost indiscernable) or more bright/bold?

I've always wanted a Luger...and just before Xmas, too!!
