Had a half day off, so went to some Bay Area gun shops.
I ran across a really nice, 1918 DWM, standard P-08 with original finish at better than 95%, and almost flawless grips with no dings, chips, scratches. Bore looked vg, 9 mm, and all parts matched.
Only flaw was a 1930's style magazine with aluminum bottom and no serial number stamping.
Serial nubmer is # 2122 m.
It was not part of my acquistion plan, but if others out there might be trying to fill out their Imperial P-08 series, this is a nice one.
Price is/was only $ 600.00 !
