My "new" 1917 DWM

Nice pistol at a great price.

I noticed there was vertical sanding /scratches under the safety before bluing. I have a 1916 with the same marks. Usually you see the round bit marks from the milling machine. How common is this?

I'm also going to take it over to Lugerdoc for a checkup.

tbarker13, excellent idea to take it to Lugerdoc for a checkup, I failed to have my all-matching 1917 Artillery checked before firing it, I purchased it at auction in 1964, took it to the range and after about six rounds it locked up, after a brief examination I noticed that the receiver was cracked. I put it away and forgot about it. Forty six years later I located another receiver and had Lugerdoc make the necessary repairs. He did a fantastic job and kept me informed every step of the way. A great guy to do business with. Lon
