My 1920 DWM 9mm is #40xxh. The bbl. number matches, but has a lower case L instead of an H. The gun is in original rust blue in good condition, and the barrel finish and wear match the rest of the pistol. All markings appear to be original, but this can't be correct. I can see someone with the correct die set matching an unnumbered barrel to the gun, but why would they put on the wrong suffix? I guess they could have found a 9mm bbl. with the matching number and wrong suffix, but it seems improbable. The barrel has the other usual markings - proof and bore measurement. Any thoughts on this?
