Hello , I have a 1918 dwm too. the proof marks should be crowned J S S and an eagle. I agree with alanint it does appear to have been buffed but very subtly. I do see some scallop deformation but its only if I squint and hold my tounge 33 degrees to the left. If thats not the case I wonder if it didnt make it to the inspectors but made it out of the factory. interesting thankyou for sharing this. one last thing is there an eagle on the barrel where one should be?
