1917 Artillery..good or bad?

[Evil_Ed]

The local store had (and (I picked it up)...a 1917 marked DWM Artillery. Straw was very good..serial was 42XX, etc. All numbers matched except the magazine, which while it had a wood base, did not have a serial on it... Here's the thing....I'm wondering about a couple things:

The takedown lever in front, while straw, did NOT have the last two digits of the serial engraved on it; it's plain. Is that "normal"?

Also, it had GERMANY engraved under the serial, in block letters. I'm guessing that means it's a Stoeger import but it'd be nice to get confirmation
The finish itself I'd rate at an easy %80+; the muzzle area is worn, as is the front grip strap. There's some minor pitting as well around the grips...clear markings on the frame under the grip panels. The grip panels themselves; left inside one has a P and then off to the side on the other plane an N (or a Z if you look at it on the same plane I guess)..not on the right inside grip panel.

Any thoughts?

I thank you all, very much!!!
