Prinz ist gehere

Hey guys, I picked up Prinz today. He's a 1918 DWM, which Ralph had offered at a very reasonable price in place of Toad. I am totally pleased with Prinz and want to thank all of you Forum members who suggested I contact Ralph; and I particularly want to thank Ralph here in the Forum. Prinz is obvously an aristocrat, matching pistol serials, slightly worn around the edges, some proofmarks sharper than others, a nicked left grip under the safety (which reminds me of a Heidelburg dueling scar); but generally in much better shape after 83 years than I am after 69. Together, we shot 50 rounds of American Eagle (Federal Cartridge Co./115 gr FMJ) off a portable pistol rest at a standard 25 yard target. Most were 10s and 9s with a few 8s. Many of you could probably shoot a tighter group, but I was more than happy (particularly with variable focus lenses and other rationalized lame excuses). I hope Prinz was as happy to be out and active again. Thanks again, guys. Regards to all, Ad.
