I have seen them like this when the stock lug was ground off and also from a unit marking ground off.
A Dutch should not have had a marking on the front strap. That is not where they were marked.
Dutch guns are found refinished, but in the Dutch indies. Just being refinished would lower the value.
See what the serial number is on frame, how upper marked, etc. in other words, is it a Dutch completely or just a frame or ?
