9mm early style reciever

Based only on observations, I think all 9mm MAUSER Parabellums excluding prototypes, have the traditional bevel cut on the receiver ring. Watch for early 9mm pistols with the .30 caliber (Swiss) front sight which is "notched." The change over to the traditional 9mm style front sight happened after serial 11.00.1422 (pistol number 422). Yes, there are two dots on the receiver serial but one on the frame serial.
