Hi Mauro ~

My 29/70 9mm is marked 11.009648 -- where would I look for a possible stamped date of production?

I also have an Aimco Centennial (1900-AE-2000) Commemorative: "blued" stainless with small parts that appear to be strawed - including the extractor, which has the correct shape for 1900!), dished (more correctly, ground off) toggle knobs, and a grip safety. What I find interesting is that the GS appears to have been implemented with a Mauser Parabellum lever, requiring inletting of the right grip panel - quite incorrect for 1900. I have not attempted to determine the alloy of the lever, but I'm guessing it's not stainless - and the blue finish on this part may have determined the surface coloring of the frame and receiver, as the match is quite good.
