sorry, no, not really.. but...

lots of guns weren't marked and lots of WW1 guns were refurbished (or not) and sold on the USA market. Technically supposed to get a Germany stamp, but...

Also, GI's were there in the 1019-1925 time frame - technically a bring back - then many guns survived just fine without any other stamps or replacement mags or police adaptations.

I would say that your odds are better at it being a WW1 bring back with no additional markings than not, but...
