I filled out the information sheet to the best of my ability.
The toggle inscription has DWM and the last two numbers of the serial number "73". The chamber inscription is 1920; the toggle knob is squared and knurled. There is not a grip or magazine safety. There is a stock lug. It is in 9mm with a very shiney bore, no pitting. The grips are checkered walnut with no border nor insignas. The thumb safety is safe in the rear position with the word "Gesichert" showing. Also a sear block moves into position when the safety is applied. The serial number is on the left side of the chamber, front of the frame, and under the barrel with a script "N" under the number along with 8.82. When disassembled there is a lug under the chamber that has a N with a circle around it and next to that a "2". The proof marks are like illustration #31 with a single eagle of the same style on the side of the barrel. The left edge of the extractor has the word "Geladen" stamped on it. The front sight is dove tailed into a slot in the barrel which is 4" long. The rear sight is a notch milled into the the rear of the toggle. The magazine bottom is wood with the serial number 5877 stamped in it.
The blueing apears to be original and is better than 90%. The strawing looks like new on all straw parts. The left grip panel shows wear where a right handed shooters thumb would wrap around. All serials numbers match except the "hold Open" which is stamped "66" and the "73" on the trigger apears to be an overstamp.
Thank you in advance for your help. I took it to my club and it shoots very well.
