1914 dwm commercial army p08, reworked & police marked

The white spots you see in the photo are stray bits of whiting material that I failed to clean off after whiting the acceptance stamps. With intense light and magnification I can say that there is nothing stamped forward of the SES acceptances. This is why I believe that the gun had already been commercially proofed and this was accepted by the Army after they had inspected the gun.

Dwight, I will get the photo of the front frame serial number in the next day or so.
