New DWM pick up

Nomadr · 03-01-2005, 07:36 PM

Well, I fell into one of my impulse buying moods again and purchased these two pistols from a private owner that was advertising one of them in a local paper. (Of course now I'll have to sell one of my others)
The first one is a nicely refinished chamber dated 1921 DWM with all numbers matching 689b except for the mag. No safety sear and some of the small markings are a little weak. I have checked my books but can't identify the right side markings? I wish my camera could take a better shot. Maybe I'll trace them and post them later.
It also came with a nice wood base mag 3574a and a alum bottom 5949c E/154
The other is a broom handle refinished mismatched post WW1 shooter, and is marked "Oyster Bay NY" on the barrel. Don't know why I bought this one but I think they are kinda neat. They also came with repop holsters.
I think I did OK for the both. At least I hope I did!

Any ideas on the markings? The one on the right is a small eagle over ? in a circle. I cant make out the two on the left, Eagle? over?
