1913 DWM P08 Turning 100...

Yes, thanks for the diagram, it was pin #5. The ears of the frame prevented either half from "walking out" after it sheared. I'm still impressed the pistol would continue to function, I shot around 100 rounds that day, IIRC. No way of knowing how many after the break but the odds are quite a few.

Anyway, I'll look for it today.

Dwight Gruber did a small survey (only 22 respondents) back in 2003 on broken parts, and three others reported broken 'rear toggle axle pins'...

(Others have added their comments since then, but not all have not been added to the 'database'.)

It would be instructive to see the remains of the pin...That is not a part that I would think would be prone to breakage...

Happy 100th Birthday to your shooter!! I also am a shooter, and not a collector, and understand the joy of shooting these fine pistols.
