Lower grip strap marking???

Mike, thanks for the additional photos. I suspect this pistol was put together after WWI from available parts. The 1920 stamp on the chamber looks more like a government property stamp than a manufacture date.

The suffix looks like a "u" but the tail on the right side is puzzling. Is this real or a photographic artifact?

I don't see any evidence of a sear or mag safety in the photos. Is this correct?

The suffix looks like an "n" to me, when compared to the various suffix letters provided on the forum Tech page. The only safety is the conventional thumb safety.
