Jes,

The suffix(es) for the serial number are puzzling. A 1920/1920 double-dated DWM should be from DWM's 1920 production for military & police. The suffix should be none, a or b. I'm not sure I understand the reworking in Denmark. I wonder if this may have originally had no suffix and the other letters were added later. I really don't know. Could we see a photo of the markings on the bottom of the barrel?

I forgot to ask if this pistol has or had sear and/or magazine safeties.
