Hat's off to Tom Armstrong

Never fear doing business with Tom A. He's first rate in the collector field. I recently purchased a 1917 DWM Arty from him that, at first, didn't seem all that great. But he was able to look through the dirt and crud and see what this gun was under all that. I cleaned the gun and it is a gem. Although the bore is pitted it still has strong rifling. I just walked in the door having been at the range and this is one of the most accurate Lugers I've ever owned.

On top of offering a 3 day inspection, and working with me on purchase details, Tom went the extra mile and dug up more info on the gun's history including the name of the OSS officer who brought it back.

If that weren't enough Tom found in his own collection of magazines a matching number one to my gun for more than a fair price. Cheap is more the term.

Thanks for a wonderful collecting experience, Tom. You are a credit to the hobby.
