1906 DWM factory presentation

Ron,

Of course not the final word, I am of the understanding that Lugers were always proofed "in the white." The early guns without proofs would be destined for non-European sales--this gun could not have been sold on the market in Germany or elsewhere on the continent; it would have been proofed -before- leaving the factory. The absence of proofs here, along with the absence of GERMANY, are what really vex me.
