Thanks John for your info, I figured that it had been refinished, there is a mark above the usual marks on the left side that according to the proof marks page is a "Erfurt and DWM arsenal proof indicating arsenal repair, refurbish or modification" I was wondering if there was any way to determine the date of the re doing, possible a WW1 piece being readied for WW2? also since all numbers still match the refinish must have been done with great care.
Thanks again
