1920 non-comercial?

The upper reciever appears to be all matching, (although the "double strike" on the barrel witness mark is a concern), as well as some of the small parts.

The frame is clearly not matching. The "4" looks stamped, but the 7 and 3 are clearly pantographed and are not the same font as the balance of the pistol.

As Richard pointed out, it is also missing the letter suffix, which alone would make it a non-matching gun. While it generally looks nice and possiby expertly restored, it is a non-matching and worse still, a possibly renumbered pistol in my eyes.
