I've been offered a mainly matching 1915 DWM artillery for $925. Good bore.

The downside is it's refinished, the proofs are gone from the cannon and the number is barely visible on the sideplate and others are definitely faint, but the work has been done quite well with the minimum of rounding and the strawing looks good. The grips are a little dubious and the spring under the rear site is broken.

I suspect this may be at the top of the price range for a shooter, but I don't see too many.

Any comments much appreciated as the seller is pressuring me for a decision and I'm tempted. I can't really afford it and will have to sell a few guns to finance it, but I've always wanted an artillery !

thanks, Stu

Well, acted rashly and bought - err in haste, repent at leisure !
