This came from a veteran many years ago, all matching including the stock which shows a field repair. I have shoot light reloads which work out finehttps://www.milsurps.com/images/impo.../102wifp-1.jpg

Had an identical 7.63 with the same type of stock repair.
Very nice...
Very Cool.That is in great condition for its age. I have a M1930 model. What is that carved into the wood?

I remember buying some factory ammo for mine, not sure of the name of the manufacturer. Century rings a bell from Portugal. Rounds were cracking at the neck and after several rounds one sheared completely and remained in the chamber, the next round chambered and fired causing the bolt face and extractor to be torn away. It was a sad day but I eventually found another bolt and retired the gun to the gun safe.
I had one while in NB and it had the same damage to the stock, the top as it sits in this pic was cracked both sides. I applied microbed and fixed it. That gun was about new...
Very nice and with matching numbers. Winston Churchill's favorite pistol and up high on my want list. Bill
Apparently he carried one in the South Africa war.Quote:
