Jes,
This pistol has some strange markings! The "b" is consistent with a 1920-dated DWM but I would have expected it to be where the "n" is below the "1699." Is the mark below the "n" on the front of the frame possibly a "b"? It is possible that some part of the letter is missing because of the curvature of the frame.
I would be interested in seeing a photo of the dates on the top of the chamber.
