Approx. 1-1 1/2 years ago, I purchase a 1939 receiver with a 5in. barrel and a ramped front sight. The barrel is marked 9mm by J Dewey. I have tried to get info on him, but had no luck. I have used it as a conversion for my 30 Luger DWM Alphabet Luger so that I can shoot both calibers with the same frame/lock works.
The receiver and the barrel had been blued, and they look good. The receiver was over buffed, as is frequently done. I had to have it headspaced after I installed an Erfurt toggle train. It works good, but really only likes PMC 115gr ammo(most likely due to a sloppy headspacing job.....will never use him again!!).
