So, I have this German pistol in a 7.65 mm, and I have been cleaning, servicing, repairing, and locating lost pieces.
Success today on several levels of getting the pistol functioning again.

One thing I really like to see on these German pistols is the craftsmanship that is awesome. The cartouche stamps are awesome.

The slide is really a work of art, fit and finish.

The cartouche on the outside of the slide, everything is in excellent condition.

Even after 100 years the springs are still in excellent condition.

Parts can be very difficult to locate.

The grips exterior are excellent, the one grip inside was broken due to someone unable to remove it properly.

I had a old piece of walnut that I spent hours fitting into the broken grip.

Worked on fitting the grip into the catch, then checked out the other grip to see how the movement was on it. I was checking out, comparing each grip with the catch.
