Zamo..I have to side with Vern on this pistol. There is no known reason these oddly shaped numbers should look like that. In point of fact.. they should NOT.

I agree that it's an interesting piece with the Prussian Eagle on the back and all but a sideplate that has these numbers so unlike the rest of the pistol would make me think twice. Adding in the lack of wear and I am thinking once again.

On the Freaudian slip side I hope you meant Jewelers LOOP not jewelers rouge ...Rouge is what they put on a buffing wheel as a cutting/polishing agent!
