Thanks FFIL, reloading ammo is something that has twinged my interest, but hey, I knew nothing about this gun a few months ago...maybe I'll start researching this and see what I know in the next few months! Right now I'm kinda focusing on getting to know the internal parts, how to break down...

Just an update for anyone who cares! Well, I finally fired the old Luger off about a month ago with some target ammo 9mmLuger... and everything went fine for the first clip. But...trying to fire the 2nd clip didn't go so well as the "trigger bar" broke. I have finally found a great gunsmith...

Thank you

Thanks, Dr. Rob, especially the youtube videos...Phil

Also, what does the "Blue and Straw" percents mean? and how is that determined?

He got it about a month ago. Did those pics help? I may be shooting it this weekend at the range and I'll let you know! Phil

I looked through alot of the "Simpson Ltd" site of the DWM lugers and also found nothing like the lever that's on my gun (much flatter before the round grippy). I'm thinking someone machined a part on their own at some point in time in it's history...also, most of those guns are way more...

Yep, I took off the screws and removed the grips...no numbers on the back, but definately wood! Maybe a "zero" on one...Phil

More detailed pics Here are some more pics of that lever area...hope they provide some more insight. FYI, I had to cock the gun to get the lever to pull down...Thanks, Phil

While I'm asking, Jim...what's the big screw at the bottom of the grip for?

Wow. Fascinating, Jim. I agree the magazine bottom feels and looks like plastic (but to my untrained eye, so does the grip). Thank you. Phil

some more questions Thanks again for the info...A couple more questions... Looking at the gun, there is a "notch" at the bottom of the grip's middle metal edge. what was that for? Also, there is a metal "strap loop" looking thing at the top of the grip...what specifically for? My Dad...

Thank you Dr. Rob...would you have any issues firing it? Any additional background on the gun would be appreciated, as well. I would like to get ahold of a manual of some sorts to detail how to break it down for cleaning. My dad said the gentleman who sold it to him stated there is a tricky...

Wow, I had no idea the gun was around 100 years old! I'm still planning on shooting it...but definately will get it checked out at the range. Is there a specific name this model of luger goes by and was it most likely made in Germany?

The maker on the box is Remington...what year do you think this gun was made? Phil
