Soon to be owner of a 1916 DWM Luger P08 "shooter"

[Big Fre]

Hi all, my name is Frederik, I live in Belgium, 30 years old,

Been shooting for almost 2 years now, and allready have a few nice guns, 2 of them are war-time rifles:
Schmidt Rubin K31 of 1944
Mosin Nagant 91/30 of 1930

Now this past week I passed by a local gun shop who had 3 Lugers for sale, being that I really like the war time guns, and the Luger had interested me for many years, the look and the way it works, I decided to ask about the prices, because I'm a bit on a budget for the moment, I thought they would not be in my prive range, and the 2 in good condition, a 1920 and 1939 where 1250€, which was a bit high for me, but then the dealer offered me this 1916 DWM P08 Luger, he told me it was dug up after WW2, he didn't know when, but it had a lot of wear on the metal, pitted all over from rusting in the ground, it had been made in perfect working order with I presume from what I have read here repro grips and probably most of the internals have been replaced, externals are matching, just the mag had a totally different number,

I thought it over, and found that I would be perfectly capable of enjoying this gun as a nice shooter, certainely for the price, so I made the deal, now sadly I have to wait for the paperwork, unfortuneley it takes around 3 months here in Belgium before I will have my licence for the gun, wish I allready had it in possesion,

some photos posted, hope they work, sorry for the lesser quality, taken with my phone in the vault of the gunshop, bad lighting
