New arty in town!

Hi folks,

I posted this on another boerd, but here we go again.

After spent few years looking for a decent example, I managed to get my first Artillery last month. It is a DWM 1917 (serial number 5074f) with fine tuned adjustment only in the rear sight, all matching (except the magazine) and with honest original finish (but poor straw). Minor pitting under the grips but this would be expected. Considering that, where I live you should rely only on your network to find such pieces, I think it was a good score -in fact, a good steal as I paid only USD 700.00 for it.

I'll let the pictures do the talking. Now it is time to find a decent holster & stock (probably will try to find an old, good repro - what do you think about it guys?).

Greetings,

Douglas
