Hello all,
Well picked up a strange one today. First and foremost I want to thank Frank for all his advice before I purchased this one. I'm not sure if this is a Mauser re-work? possibly a BKIW? It has a "DWM" stamp & no date. No "sear safety" & No "Mag safety" Serial is "25" with an "r" suffix.
It came with an FXO mag, and the strawed parts appear to have been blued (possibly post-war?) but show alot of wear so it was done along time ago. It has Crown/N stamps which appear to have been done earlier, and the only proof is one I've never seen before? From what I can make out its an Eagle "H1a220" maybe "H1a120"? Maybe I'm totally off but thats what it appears to be? (see attached Pic). The barrel has the Mauser Eagle/355 stamp.
Everything appears matching, and is heavily numbered including "25" in two places on the side plate, take down lever, and one on the safety lever. Although the Grips & firing pin are not numbered? there is also a letter "G" under the left grip on the frame.
Thank you all in advance! I can't wait to get some more info on this. Maybe its a junky shooter, maybe something rare? I have a ton of pics, so I'll just post what I feel is worth seeing, and can happily post more upon request.
Thanks!
Reggie
