Hopefully the pics will help- first time trying to attach photos. A few more notes; 1. upon further investigation, the pistol has a DWM rework stamp on the barrel, which I assume means it was reworked during WW1? 2. Gun was supposedly brought home by a WW2 vet - but I noticed that it isn't all matching - the barrel shows a small waffenamt but has a matching serial # to the pistol that seems to be original and not added. The toggle pin isn't matching, but that is only part I've found w/a non matching #. Would that have been the reason for rework, and if so, why was the serial # not changed to match?
