Reaally nice photos, one question, why didn't you take a picture from the other side to show the safety catches?
Your probably right about the big brother having WW1 service, I understand that the Reichscomission M79 saw service with lines of communication troops, as well as being widely issued in the various German colonies, such as German East Africa. I remember reading somewhere that during the 1890's German officers were permitted to purchase double action versions of the M83. That would be a find.
I have always admired the M79 and would love to own one, unfortunately the way things are going in this armpit of the world that just ain't gunna happen.
