1917 DWM Artillery

sdmark777 · 05-03-2018, 04:27 AM

Here is a very nice clean original DWM 1917 Artillery, 9mm, original finish, 95% blue, 90% straw, clean bore, all matching except for magazine, original beech wood matching numbered grips in outstanding condition, standard front and rear sights, slight fading of the blue on rear toggle and one small blemish on left side of receiver. Super clean for an artillery. I have seen many an artillery that have a mottled finish, even if they have a high percent of blue. With the perfect grips and high percent of straw and clean blue finish, this artillery really stands out. Enjoy, Mark

Ditto what George said. That is the way you like to find them! One that clean is hard to come by.
