Hello John,

The pistol is marked 1916 and is a 9mm DWM with a 3 digit serial number of 3.. and what looks to be a "c" suffix. They did a really nice "nickel job" on it, looks like it was supposed to be that way (too bad). The pistol has 4 stamps on the side of the receiver and 3 on the barrel excluding the serial number on the barrel. All serial numbers match other than what I assume is the incorrect magazine. The grip strap is stamped as follows: J.R.64. 3.K. When I obtained the pistol it had been packed away so long that it appeared to be gold plated due to the tarnish. Right or wrong, I didn't like the tone and it wiped off pretty easy with a little had buffing and some oil. The pistol functions flawles with any standard ammunition I have tried. I hope this answers your questions.
