Herb,

Thanks very much for the additional info. I'm not where I can access my database now but this sounds very much like one of the 1920 DWMs that were produced for the police and military before they were forced into only "commercial" production in 1921. It clearly has/had both sear and mag safeties at one time. I believe the X indicates Russian capture. Don't know anything about parkerizing.
