New Boy w/questions

My gun safe is in my office....safe (pun intended) and dry. I have stored many guns for years with no problems.

I also wanted to address Mr. Tinker's concern about refinish/restoration. I can personally vouch safe that this gun is original. I know 100% all of the details of it's heritage/ownership since 1950. I believe that before that time
(1950) it belonged to my grandfather, as he was more of a gun afficianado than my father. It makes sense to me that my grandfather, having been born in the 1880's, served in WWI etc. would have owned such a gun. My father inherited several pieces from him right after the war including a SAA .45 long colt (now owned by my brother), the Parker double, a matched pair of flintlock pistols and several other less interesting guns. Since my dad was not into anything but 'meat' guns, he surely didn't buy the Luger. No one knows for certain, but that's my story and I'm sticking to it 'til proven otherwise.

No offense taken, Mr. Tinker and I understand your concerns. A few photos a fine gun does not make. Again, I'll try to get some better ones up on the board soon.
