* Judging from Jussi's story of his grandfather's association with the underground and the "Agent" from whom he acquired this piece, I'd suggest a "Lunch Box" gun was more likely. You know of Lunch Box guns....parts spirited out of the Factory one or two at a time in a "lunch box" until all were acquired to assemble a full pistol.
* An alternative constructive speculation would be an "Armorer's Box" assembly.
* Using Gibson's TKP as a reference, this piece appears to have the machining and grip curvature characteristics of a DWM. If any Worker's stamps appear on the inside(Front well, rear well, left grip frame, receiver/toggle undersides, etc.), they might be compared to a known 1916 DWM for confirmation.
* Interesting gun. This "phantom" probably shoots one hole groups too!
Respectfully,
Bob
