1906 Brazilian(?)

I recently picked up #342 from a fellow Forum member. It is very nicely restored, probably by the Lugerman, so some #'s may be restamped/force matched. It is a beautiful gun. Then I had our own Hugh clean up the grips. For you who have never seen his work it is breath taking.

took the pistol to the range today. It shot very well, only a slight problem with the original clip not allowing the round to chamber from open bolt. with new clip, it worked perfectly. From pass experience, the top of the old clip needs to be bent tighter because the round is sitting to high. The cases expanded about .002". Might get the barrel relined to improve rifeling if I can find some one that can do it with the original barrel. But for now, very satisfied with how it work for a 100+ year old gun. Will probably just keep it as a collector (investment).
