This is my 1917 DWM Arty. Eric, you'll be interested to know that my "Luger virginity" was lost in 2011 when I acquired this example from a RIAC auction (It was also the first pistol I ever owned!).
Original finish, all matching, and in wonderful condition--but you'll note the ubiquitous "million dollar chip" on the left grip...and also the missing stock lug. I got an appropriate chunk of frame from G.T., which is awaiting its chance to be sectioned and welded to the gun's frame so I can use a stock with it again.
