New to me 1920 DWM nickel plated

Thanks for the insight on the safety spring tension. I'm assuming it's more like the H&K P7M8/13 where there is a considerable amount of force required to activate it. With that series it is a lot to get it going but easy to hold once it's cocked. I was assuming this would be like a 1911 style grip safety and require a pound or two of force to hold down and not effect the grip much but it sounds like it is very stout.

I have found a local place that will strip the nickel finish off and either re-apply or blue it so I'll look into that further. The finish appears to be so thick that it covers up any of the proof markings on the side of the receiver and I'd like to know what those are.
