I heard DWM 1920 extractor may either show LOADED or GELADEN..... I cannot remember where I read that. No references at hand and my memory could be wrong. I'm sure my instance shows GELADEN. If extractor shows LOADED, should thumb safety show SAFE instead of GESICHERT?
k7grc -- Could you post a close-up picture of "GERMANY" in front of the frame?
========
P.S. k7grc's instance does show "SAFE" on the left ear. So the "LOADED" on extractor makes perfect sense.
One thing is unclear... say this gun has "SAFE" and "LOADED", the intended destination is clearly U.S. of A. ..... could GERMANY be applied just like the DWM monogram on the toggle? I mean, could it be applied before the gun was blued, so no halo on it?
"GERMANY" with halo is shallow on the frame.... obviously applied after the frame had been hardened. I assume "GERMANY" without halo (on "LOADED/SAFE" gun) should be deep, if the previous assumption is correct.
Comments and pictures are welcome.
