Hi, I inherited this beautiful (I think) Luger DWM 1917 with all numbers matching and one magazine with matching number (although it was the 2nd mag. because there is a nr.2 above the serial, and it seems to be a ww2 mag with alu bottom and Haenel Schmeisser Patent engraved in it) Now my question, I had to get a shooting license for this gun in Belgium, the bore and gun have almost never been fired and are in perfect condition, I shot a few times with it and it aims and shoots perfect. But some people tell me I'm crazy to fire this weapon because it could decrease its value, is this true? I also notice that my weapon has less blue than most I see on the web, should I do something about that?
Greetings, Jesse
