Rick, Your recent photos tell the tale. The marks on the left side of barrel and rear of the toggle are Imperial (probably Erfurt) inspectors marks (crown over a letter that identifies a specific inspector). Also, since your receiver is "notched" just aft of the barrel, this was original for the Artillery rear sight to lay down into, shows me that your pistol was originally a LPO8, that was reworked after WW1 into a 4" with a normal fixed sight rear toggle link. What I can't identify are the faint markings just forward of the DWM on your mid link? Can you do a close-up of this?
