d or an a ??
 

Okay, I can go either way on this; Is this a "a" suffix or a "d" suffix?

1916 DWM




I think a D but its been a long week! :D

Ed

Ed that did not sound to good. I think it is a D
Russ

I had to read it three times to see what you meant ;) It has been a long week.

I tried using the polling buttons, but it would fail out each time?


ed

It's a "d"....

;)

JD

well the concensus is that its an 'a'.










okay, maybe a d...

Well, I disagree :eek:

Never seen a scriptic "a" with the leading edge that raises 1/3 or more above the body of the "a".

Let me look again....









Yep - It's still an "d"....

;)

JD

I vote for d .

Anybody have some 1916 a and d suffix guns they can post pictures to compare?

--Dwight

I think it's a D.

Course what the hell do I know? I sold the only 1916 A suffix pistol I owned.

its an "a"..........

see, there isn't much agreement! We have two d's and two a's !!!


darn germanic lettering...


Ed

I can't tell.
(Its four AM, I can't sleep cause dogs are raising hell over something in the woods and I've been on muscle relaxers and pain killers two weeks cause of my back. Have to replace a window today and cut up several downed trees from the storm. God knows that I'm better off than a whole lot of other folks though). I can go wake my wife up and ask her which one she thinks it is.

I am sorry about your back, i hate back-problems... And don't go wake her up!

I think its a d, but in the long run, it doesn't matter, was it made in the first 20 k that year or the first 50 k that year!

ed

:o I vote "d" :rolleyes:

I think it may be a rare prototype x. Are there gold inlaid initials on it anywhere? :-)

Heinz, there can be if you want to send me $3,500 :D

Ed, it's a D!!!

It is a "d".

It's a "d". Surely someone on the forum has another '16 dated DWM with an "a" suffix that could post a pic to verify.....

My vote is for a D. Ihave a couple a's and they don"t look like yours. Bill

Ed,
I just picked up a 1916 DWM, s/n 5115d and the suffix letter is identical to yours. My digital camera did the dead dog routine earlier this week, so I'll send you a scan next week after I buy a replacement.
