DWM 1916 markings

Hi Eric,
Thanks for showing photos. Your 1916 DWM looks like a nice honest gun that's seen quite a bit of service. It was made in early 1916 as it still has the unrelieved sear. Does the magazine have a matching number as well?
Regards, Norm

Thank you for the info. The mag has a wooden bottom and the SN does not match. I forgot to mention, that's the only non matching part. What do you think it's worth?

Difficult question Eric, value, like beauty, lies in the eye of the beholder. The unit mark is a plus, the chipped left grip is a minus, I'd say $1,500.00 or so.
