Tacfoley. Point noted about the posibility of Mauser having touched the pistole however I am confused by other factors. All parts except 018 are numbered correctly as either 619 or 19 on the smaller parts. Part #018 is numbered 97. The chamber is date stamped 1914. DWM on toggle link. The frame is marked 619 with a b suffix under it. Under the removable left side plate there is what appears as a K stamped into the frame. It is stamped on a curved portion and not real clear. I have two clips, one has a wood base and is also marked with the 619, the other has an aluminium base with #6050 on it. My referance (2000 standard catalog of firearms by Ned Schwing) does not allow some of these markings, like the 1914 chamber mark, and or the DWM mark in its coverage of the Mauser version. I am curious why you think you were giving me bad news. Any information at this point is helpfull. I am not a collector so value is mostly a guideline for insurance purposes but if it is a Mauser version it seems to be worth more $$$ than if it were a straight 1914 military model. (again according to my one referance book) Still looking for information!!! I will try to post pictures sometime today.
