Hello.
I recently bought a DWM 1916 9mm Luger. It's all matching except for the magazine. I've cleaned it really well but I haven't shot it and I'm not sure if I ever will.
I'm wondering if anyone can tell me a bit about the markings and stamps on the gun?
It has the following stamps:
Left side: 1 marking with a crown.
Right side: 4 markings, two fishes, a phoenix and I can't spot the first one.
Front: E underneath the serial number 1617.
Under the barrel: Again an E. Five markings: CP N, SNP, 9x19 (I know this one), 1B96 between swords? and lastly, 8.83.
Handle: 178. R. 2,5.
Here are the pictures. The pictures are quite large and detailed so you guys can zoom into them with the + button.
Best regards.
