1917 DWM Arty question

DavidJayUden · 12-16-2012, 09:53 AM

Like I already stated, I'm not seeing a problem.
But just for the sake of whipping up some discussion, am I seeing scratches around the base of the barrel just out from the base ring that might show clamp or fixture wear? That could suggest re-barreling somewhere along the way. Also without all the white lacquer stick filler, are there halo's around the barrel numbers similar to that on the frame? Can you clean off all the white stuff and post some really good photos of those barrel, and maybe frame, numbers? Also, do the index marks align?
Thanks for indulging me.
