This is a made-up piece from more than a couple of pistols. Markings have been removed, so it is not possible to say too much about its origins from these photos--it would take hands-on inspection, or at least many specific close-up photos for more.

It appears that the breechblock may have an Erfurt proof. The pistol has been resurfaced and reblued.

As George notes, the proof marking style of the civilian proof house at Suhl definitely remove it from the possibility of DWM production.

I picked up a similar made-up Navy over the summer in 9mm Parabellum for $1,600 US.
