I managed to score one at a pawn shop in a condition that can only be described as lightly carried. I think it was carried a bit, but never fired, and I don't think it ever had a bayonet affixed to it.
It's marked Ludwig-lowe. As far as I can tell, that puts manufacture at 1896 at the latest, since that firm later became DWM.
Now I want to shoot the darn thing. It's my understanding that the barrel has a long throat to accommodate a long, round nose bullet. As such, it may not perform well with spitzer type bullets. Any good bullet and load suggestions?
