The first is a 1920/23 era commercial DWM with an American Eagle on the chamber and marked SAFE and LOADED. It has original finish and all matching SN except for the unmarked correct nickel wood bottom magazine. GERMANY is stamped on the front of the frame under the serial number 84423. It is speculated that this is a Stoeger import that did not receive the "Stoeger" markings on the receiver. Any comments are welcome, as I am aware that some collectors believe this version American Eagle to be a fake.

The second is a Brazilian model SN 714 with all matching numbers except for the mag. It has been refinished and has replaced grips.
