Bill, check out my post in C&R forum about the 1908 mauser. I posted it there with questions about the stainless barrel bands. The receiver metal is in great shape, very smooth with crisp and sharp markings, but turning a little gray with age. Thanks for the advice.

This rifle is the 6th or 7th DWM in my collection, and I've always been impressed with how well German steel ages when well cared for, as compared with all of the other junk guns made during that time in history.

The rifle is beautiful, but being the compulsive type, I like to see that mirror shine.
