1912 dwm p-08

Since there are not a whole many 1912s out there (10k?), figured I'd share a new acquire!
Condition isn't the best in the light, but it is all matching and seriously has the tightest tolerances I've came across thus far. At night... who cares, she looks much better

I for one am a fan of the feel and curve of these pre-1914s.
Sharing the proofs too; only 3 at this period of assembly. Hold open installed I guess in 1913 has the small proof too (looks like a crowned "P'?). No import marks.
Put on some repo grips and a MecGar for the range. No failures with a variety of ammo.
One question for the crowd- besides the usual oil wipedown and cleaning, does one attempt anything more invasive on severe holster-rash/pitting such as this (around the distal cannon)?
Enjoy:
