I just came across this 1916DWM and am interested in the opinions of the experts. I apologize for the pictures and will try to get some better ones. Here are my questions. The pistol matches as far as the frame goes and the internal parts, although the firing pin is unnumbered. The gun as a couple of odd features that I have not seen before. First is the large mental part just in front of the trigger and below the take down lever. It is at the location where you would typically find the serial for the frame. Second, the barrel is odd. It seems to be a bull barrel and I think has been cut down. The interesting part is that the barrel has a 6 on in in place of the serial number and the gun has a matching 6 on the bolt stop. Also, the alignment mark on the barrel seems perfect. Never seen one like this before. Any insights?
