“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Very nice. Looks to be in good shape. I bet you really enjoy it at the range.

It looks to have an aftermarket grip on it but correct black grips can be found online at places like Liberty Tree and others. If you buy a grip don’t forget to buy the proper screw as well.

Nice looking pistol there. I need to quit making excuses and find one of these one day.

That would look really good with my East German Border Guard display (Grenztruppen der DDD).
