Hello,
I have a 1914 DWM pistol that my father and I purchased from the widow of a WWII veteran that told her that he brought the pistol back from the war. The way we got it was with a hand made shoulder hoster that the vet supposedly made and has some U.S. unit markings along with his name. It has two wood bottomed magazines that do not match the pistol's serial number. The pistol itself is very clean and looks fired minimally as there is almost no wear internally and the bore is excellent and without pitting. The only bluing wear that I can tell is around the muzzle, the front sight, and the slightly at the sharp edges of the frame that would seemingly be contacted by the holster. On the trigger plate, there is also some slight wear and what appears to be very slight pitting on the front edge and the high area near the take-down lever. The straw color looks pretty good too, only having slight wear on the edge of the take-down lever and trigger. In taking it apart, all the numbered parts match, including the grips. The only problems that I noticed are that the left grip has a chip by the safety lever and the hold open catch spring is missing. I am assuming that this is an original finish pistol due to the interior slide and frame surfaces being free of bluing. I know that the pictures are not the best and did not specifically take pictures of the inspection marks but would appreciate any input regarding this pistol. Thanks, Jim |
