"PS" Presentation crest...

[SIGP2101]

And what would be a logical reason for that zero to be bigger than the rest of the zeros in serial# on the frame? Double strike?

Does anyone know the asking price for this item?

This gun shows signs of having been restored sometime in its long history. Look closely at the barrel SN and you will see softening of the SN there. A logical thought would be that the restorer messed with the frame SN's and botched the job.
You can also see a distinct outline of fading bluing near/around the crest. With a DWM factory gun this would never happen, the bluing would be uniform.

The "GL" on the rear of the frame has the same quality as the SN's on the front of the frame, this could lead someone to believe that the two of them were applied at the same time.


This is a beautiful gun shown in many books and magazines anyone would be proud to own it no matter what its heritage.

I don't know the asking price, its very very high I am sure.

P.S. I agree with Vlim

The first 0 is stamped over a 1.
