Howdy

I am in negotiation for a 1917 DWM P08. Seller claims bore is "minty" and very minor blemishes on left side. His words not mine. I have seen a picture of the right side and the surface does look good, and no dents in the grips.

What I was wondering, I don't see any white color inlay in the proof marks.

I don't know about the date or toggel crest yet.

In the Members Gallery, second page, there is a 1916 DWM and it has all white inlay. If there is no white anywhere, would this be a tip off on a "perfect pistol" that it has been reblued, and therefore not original?

Thanks
