New acquisition: 1916 DWM w/sear safety

That's exactly what I thought, and what I was planning on doing. However, I opted to give it back to the seller. He's putting it back on gunbroker with these pictures. The previous pictures he used were of a lesser quality.
I had given him $800 for it off gunbroker, but when I saw it had some parts reblued, and the corrosion under the grips...I already have a nice shooter, and didn't want to spend that money on another in this condition. I offered to keep it for $150 less, and he declined. It would have been a nice acquisition for that price, but I thought $800 was too much for me, right now.

THEN the wife found out about the whole affair and became quite incensed. I don't think I'll be buying any more toys soon...Unless I find that pristine "Red 9" C96 for the right price...That's next I think.
Oh, and I told her that was a known variable...should I find one.
