1918 DWM P08 with sweetheart grips

Back in the early 60s there was a catalog by EMF, I believe.

There were many pages of Lugers, brooms and P38's.
25 or so per page just laid out in one pic and numbered;

It was interesting how many were plated, stag or "cream" grips, whatever.

Must have been several hundred pistols in each issue-price around 50 bucks.
Gunshows then were similar-plating and custom gips.

Here's a HSC I picked up at a local gun show with the sweetheart grips. I think they really add to the war time pistols!
