Thank you Vlim!
I'm glad you are not saying "fake" or "rework", the pistol looks so authentic I could not imagine it was a rework/conversion of a used Red 9.
May I please ask two follow up questions?
First, if I understand you, number 9709 could have been from the "Red 9" serial number range or some other, perhaps unknown contract during the period of "WW1 Commercial" production?
Second, from your reply I imply the serial number oddity is not especially rare or valuable, not that I care, I plan to keep the pistol, but is that your view-no big deal?
Thank you again! Joe
