Norm, I won this pistol at auction in Feb. 1964 and paid $56., at that time Luger's weren't as sought after as they are today and being the dummy I am I had it re blued (professionally) and took it out and shot about six rounds through it without having it checked first. To make a long story short the receiver developed a cracked and it sat in my safe for the next 40 years until I decided to see if I could find another barrel extension, which I did, a 1914/1920 Erfurt. The Pistol itself was a matching numbers 1917 DWM, except for the rear sight.
