Hi Guys,
A nice little find at the last week-end local gun auction.
1906 first contract series DWM Dutch, serial number 1471
The gun still has the original unit mark and gun number on the rear frame
(AO 163) but has been crossed out and been reissued with the brass plate on the frame side 3-Inf .III over 5.
All matching numbers except side plate which is 75 rather than 71 but the number is in the correct place.
Has Crown/W proof on the right hand side receiver. and 1914 date on the top of the barrel.
Coarse chequed grips, DWM on the toggle. Holster looks good but I am not sure if it is correct for the period.
Complete with early DWM cleaning rod and bottle.
Regards
Murray
