1918 DWM-Shooter or Collector

jsd1318 · 07-22-2016, 11:03 AM

I have a 1918 DWM, all matching except magazine and grips, which are S42 marked, which I understand are WW2 replacements, It is about 70% with browning on the straps and some bluing loss throughout. I wanted some opinions on whether this pistol would be considered a shooter or a collector. I like to shoot my firearms but due understand the historical value of older guns like this. I have fired it and it functions fine, just hesitate to break a part and ruin any value. I also have the unmarked holster that came with it from the vet's family and have considered selling the rig if it is a collector. Any comments appreciated.
