Black Widow grips

A completely personal choice. The pistol you fired was a military model accepted by the Weimar Republic as one of the pistols allowed by the Versailles Treaty. The "1920" is considered a Weimar property mark, rather than a date. All matching guns are getting more and more scarse. As more people fire their all matching guns and break parts, the original matching guns will continue to rise in value. If you must shoot your pistol, at least consider a replacement firing pin and extractor at the minimum, to preserve these original parts. Many folks purchase an entire toggle train, which they drop into their gun so that they can shoot it without risking the collectability of their pistol.
