Chris, welcome to the forum! Yes, those eyes play tricks on us...

Without pictures, we can guess, and fairly close for some of it.

Made in 1921 by DWM, the 4794a would be the serial number. It sounds like you have weiamr army markings, but lets let some of the guys who know this talk about that.

I am betting the M9AL is something like an HZa stamping that is smeered or not stamped well.

These models were strawed, so if no trace of straw, then it has been reblued at some point.
