Age and worth

It's kind of hard to tell, but it looks like a former military DWM mfg. gun, probably from WW1, although the date has been removed (or never was) over the chamber. There are at least 3 numbers that do not match, and while some finish looks original, the barrel in particular looks like a salt blue finish. Assuming that it is chambered for 9mm Luger, and given the mismatched numbering, I'd call it a nice shooter and value it between $750 and $900.
But let's see what others have to say.
