New DWM

I picked up a DWM 9mm Luger at a gun show this weekend. Pictures comming as soon as I get it from the dealer. There is a 48 hour waiting period??!!

It has 1920 over the chamber. I assume this is a property Mark. Serial #1508 n. It is all matching except for the Side Plate. I am not sure about the grips and the mag is a blued wood bottom with no markings but it is a period mag.

It was reblued but all corners and edges are still very sharp so it was a good reblue job. It has a sear safety and is unit marked. I assume a police unit. I will follow up with that when I get it in my hands.

All parts that should be strawed are blued also. Can I have comments about weather you would strip the blue and re straw the parts or leave it alone.

Also if I were able to find an 08 side plate would I be better to leave the sear safety or remove it.

Any idea when it was made?

By the way I paid $495 so I think I did okay.
