Back about 1967 - maybe '68 - I bought a 1916 DWM Luger from a pawn shop in Tacoma, WA, for the terrible price of $55...... a lot of money for an E-3 at that time. It was matching but pitted and rough. The bore was pitted too, although the rifling was strong and sharp edged. It had a pair of those awful Franzite pearl-lite grips on it and looked like I'd stolen it from a cat house! I shot many hundreds of Lyman TC cast bullets through that gun with 6.0 grains of Unique and I don't recall EVER having a jam or failure to feed. That was one reliable pistol and I wish I still owned it... with different grips, of course!
