Pisto: I have 3 artilleries, a 1914 Erfurt and two 1917 DWM's one of which has been reblued. I shoot the reblued as like most I don't want to take a chance on breaking any parts on either of the originals. The other 17 has some pitting on the barrel but the finish is all original. The 14 is in very nice condition with the usual wear. Our local range isn't very large with 200 yards being the longest we can shoot but the artillery seems to be pretty accurate at that distance. My main interest is Imperial Lugers and I have a total of 27 Lugers including the artilleries, a 1906 American Eagle with Ideal stock, a "G" date, a 1939 and a newer made from the 1970's.
