The stock is numbered to the pistol, 1107h, DWM 1917. (Still has fine tune front and rear sights). The crown is barely able to be made out (In certain light), and there is a pressure mark, (dent) right below it, I guess it will always be a mystery! I had a similar rig in the early 1990's with great proofs on the stock, but also had the name "Buxton" carved in it in 1 in letters. Oh well; these guns have been in the trenches of WW 1, brought home by ship in duffle bags, and have generally hung around for 101 years in my case, part of the fun of collecting.
