Still amazing to hold a piece of history that cracks the century mark. My dad has this old Luger P08 from 1914 and to celebrate its 100th birthday we took it to the range back in 2014. The ergos are terrible and the toggle is a PITA but the fact that they were able to do all this 100 years ago is amazing. Same with your 1911 - 100 years of life and probably still shoots great.

Nice Luger! I am planning to shoot my pistol with light loads, as the slides on these very 1911s weren’t heat treated and can crack. Some collectors advise never shooting them, but will occassionally. The previous owner would shoot it with standard ball.

Relationships pay. I have been friends with him for years and knew he had the gun. When he was ready we made the deal.
