All,
I guess, in this case, I have the advantage, because I bought this piece and am able to examine it up close and personal. The proofs are definately DWM, although the one on the front toggle link is faint enough that the pictures in the auction could have confused anyone. It is a very clean 1915 with almost "0" grip strap wear, no pitting and about a 5% overall loss of blue on the high points. Originally, I was negotiating with these folks for the purchase of a 41 chamber date, Code 42 until they told me that the alpha suffix was an "x". Seems that someone built it up using a byf 41 frame and a Code 42 toggle with the correct serial number. The 1915 was an afterthought that I'm glad I pursued, because it fit a hole in my Imperials.
