Greetings learned ones.

The seller of the 1915 DWM I spoke of earlier has allowed me to do a pre-purchase scrutiny of his pistol. In an effort to determine if all parts match, just exactly how much or how little do I need to disassemble it. Some serial numbers are quite conspicuous but other numbers may be hidden. Also, Mr. Thor has shown incredible examples of his work. Is there a way to remove (repair) pitting without destroying possible value? The left side (viewed from the top) has some significant pitting whereas the other side is near pit free. Also, how does one determine if this is a shooter or a collector? If the parts match but half looks like heck....I just don't know. [img]confused.gif[/img]
