The chamber area looks to me as if the date has been removed as Ed has suggested... Likely a WW1 refurb and sold commercially in the USA. Lets see some closeups of the magazine out of the pistol... I think Ed is right and the magazine may be worth almost as much as the pistol if it is as nice as it appears to be. The searbar stamp that is showing does look like an "8" which would be a mismatched part, or possibly a very small font "2" which would be a match...

What part of WV are you from Jim... I live in VA right at the border with WV along I-81...
