Hi all,
I have a 1920/1916 DWM w/ military proofs. It's a shooter. S# 7759 receiver, togggle assembly and extractor match w/ 59. The S#7759 on the left side of the receiver was stamped through, but still easily readable. No attempt to grind down, file or hide in any way, just stamped through with horizontal lines. Then a second S#2315 was stamped directly below it w/ slightly larger fonts that are offset a bit.
Every time I look at it, it drives me crazy. Does anybody know the reason why anybody would do this? The frame doesn't match either S#.
Thanks for any input,
Mike C.
