First Issue DWM

It ain't pretty and has had many "hands" on her through the last 97 years. Bought her as a "shooter" at a silent auction for $400.00 . Most of the small parts are mismatched.

You guys helped me identify her a few weeks ago.

Ever shoot a first issue gun?

I have 150 rounds through her now ... replaced all the springs ... she shoots as sweet as the day she was made ....
