Thanks for the reply Lugerdoc. Do you know of a source for DWM serial number information? If I can determine that it was a late war production piece that would certainly back your hypothesis.

Great, now I'm not going to be satisfied until I've figured out this things life (or exhausted all options trying).

Going to the range in a little bit to test fire it for the first time so I've got my fingers crossed that everything functions as it should. Also going to work my way through some 60 y/o Romanian 8mm in my Mauser so I will probably end up with ice on my shoulder tonight.

Forgive me guys if I am incorrect, but to me this is a parts gun. From the photos, if my eyes see them correctly(always a question) the barrel extension/receiver is not numbered to the frame. The toggle train appears to be numbered to the frame, as best that I can tell. We didn't get any photos of the internal parts, so whether those parts match or not, I can't say. It appears as though the takedown bolt is also mismatched to the frame. This is what I see.
