I will post clearer pictures of the frame Serial this evening. Are their any other areas I should focus on?

In addition to the concerns already noted, I notice the gun is "Germany" marked on the rear of the frame. IIRC, this was applied post-WWI for guns destined for export to the US. I have a 1915 DWM that's also marked "Germany", albeit in a different location.) I'm no RKI by any stretch of the imagination, but in light of the "Germany" marking I'd be suspect of the story that the gun was captured.
