1920 DWM question

byf42 · 01-20-2004, 09:08 PM

I did some searching through the posts and observed the pic of yours. Maybe I overlooked the obvious, but did you identify the proof on the barrel? Mine has the same. I have examined my 1920 everyway I know how, and I cannot for the life of me see where it was ground down. I am just not convinced that it was. the date is in the same location where my 42's are stamped. I dont know if all matching with an "a" block makes any difference??? Anywho, its a great shooter piece. I have a 42 BYF with the black bakelite grips in a 98%+ condition with the 42 DLU holster in just as good a shape. Has 2 plastic bottom FXO mags and tool. Sits on the highest perch in the safe, but I seldom handle it. On the other hand the 1920 is always out. Even though its not a pristine example, its still a marvelous weapon. Shoots great, feeds reliable, and to me one of my prized pistols. A true piece of firearm history, and the bonus is I dont feel bad shooting it regularly. Although its awful tempting to give Thor a holler....
