Help with a DWM 1923 Commercial

Gentlemen,

I hate to cause a stir, but please revisit the barrel serial number.

It appears that it may have been pantographed instead of stamped, and especially the first digit which appears to these old eyes to be over the top of another number, perhaps a "1"?

All in all I would say a fair price for a shooter, with accessories, but a collectible Alphabet Commercial? I would have to reserve that opinion until I see much better photos, or perform a jeweler's loupe inspection of the barrel serial number.
