Dwm 1921

[Edward Tinker]

In addition, it is a rarer variation called a 5-diget commericial variation that went into military service (no signs of police usage that I can see) made by DWM.


Although rarer, I think you over paid by about $300 because of the lack of finish. It also has a post war magazine in it.

That is a neat gun..."patina" and all! You do not see many with only a 1921 chamber marking (Also like the Gerstner chest it is displayed on, you have good taste). It may be a fairly scarce piece. Does it have a Crown/N on the left side of the receiver? It could be one of the very few routed directly to the Army.

I don't know what Crown/n looks like? Nothing seems to be on the left side. the cover plate has the numbers 91 on the inside and not on the outside. This is mentioned in one post, but I don't know if it is correct for my SN?
thanks, Bob

Thanks Ed, I've been looking through gun shops in northern CA for over tens years to find one that didn't break the bank. Always over priced to me and mix matched. You must know the best places to look! I figured I need to start some-where. Now that I've been reading these great posts, I believe my journey has just begun. What a fasinating gun!
