Hi all, I am a newbie to this board, and have been enjoying and learning from it. thank you! I have purchased my first luger, It is a DWM 1918 #3036M. It is stamped Miltex Inc. It has been refinished a dark dull Blue/black, and has replacement black grips. Some light pitting, and bore is rough. Extractor and little thingy (searbar?) behind sideplate dont match ser#. Magazine is a fxo aluminum bottom, proof eagle 37, # scrubbed. Pistol seems nice and tight, with a decent trigger pull, and I am a happy man. Hope to take it out this afternoon and shoot it a bit. Fellow I got it from said he bought it in 1997, is this a Russian rework?, any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Duane
