Jon,

From the pics and description it looks like you have a 1908 1st issue. If I were you, I would not shoot this pistol if all the numbers match. Break one numbered part and you'll cut the value down to shooter status. Production of this model is in the approximate 25k range. I believe the gripstrap markings denote the 25th infantry regiment, 5th company, weapon number 4. The magazine is incorrect for this period, it is for a WW2 era pistol. Of course if I am wrong on any of this info, someone will come along and correct me.
