So you believe this to have been made in or before 1913? I removed the grips and see a faded handwritten '6814' on one of them, clearly handwritten.
Wondering of Dwight Gruber might consider putting this one in his database. He shows the previous one, #6813, and then it jumps to 6821. I assume with all the potential modifications performed by many different gunsmiths, it is impossible to really date the original manufacture date or the remodel date.
