I have a similar situation with my 1917 DWM, among other issues. It started life as an LP.08, has the 1920 property stamp, a 4" bbl. numbered to match in a different font, and was refinished somewhere along the line. Anyway, it also sports a matching number Erfurt proofed take-down lever. Could the take-down lever have been installed as some part of a rework?
