It has the long sear bar so was made in the first part of 1916 before the short sear bar was required. The side plate and hold open are replacements as both should be numbered.

It's not in pristine condition but looks to be a nice shooter. Certainly well worth owning.

I once had a 1916 DWM that was much rougher looking. NEVER malfunctioned; not once. I bought it from a pawn shop in Tacoma, WA, for $55 in 1966 or maybe early 1967.
