Unit markings question - WW1 era gun

sorry, no, not really.. but...

lots of guns weren't marked and lots of WW1 guns were refurbished (or not) and sold on the USA market. Technically supposed to get a Germany stamp, but...

Also, GI's were there in the 1019-1925 time frame - technically a bring back - then many guns survived just fine without any other stamps or replacement mags or police adaptations.

I would say that your odds are better at it being a WW1 bring back with no additional markings than not, but...
