1909 dwm

Very interesting. These early DWM pistols are not my area of expertise, but I have what I thought to be a 1908 Commercial S/N 43898, that is clearly "BUG" proofed. No Eagle, stock lug or grip safety and Dwight Gruber has recorded "BUG" proofed 1908s through the 48,000 range. Dwight also has some Crown N proofed pistols listed in these ranges too, so why would have 1908 series P-08s have had one or the other proof types? Thx for helping me better understand this Ron, as you know these early pistols we'll.
