Thoughts on this 30 cal Beauty

Cody,

First of all let me say that it's a beautiful gun, and your photos are really well made.
It's a "commercial" pistol made by DWM in the early 1920, they are not really scarce, and most of them still in good conditions.

Here in Italy a very good one would cost the equivalent of about USD 1,700.00

I had one of them many years ago, and sadly one day I decided to sell it for a vintage 1911.
Not long ago I was tempted to buy another one, then I gave up.

If it is all matching I would not shoot it, but it's your choice after all.
In any case I would have it inspected by a competent armourer before taking it to the range.

Safe shooting.

Sergio
