1917 Artillery DWM, First Purchase

Ray,

Congratulations on your first Luger. My first was an Artie, too. The first time only happens once! Nothing in particular jumps out at me as an issue, though we'll soon enough see what the more experienced can observe in the pics. I hope the included repro holster and stock didn't, in your accounting, represent a significant portion of what you paid. Is that high bid yours? Anyway, once thoroughly cleaned and lubed, I think it will look great (the gun, not me).
