Hello, new member here, got a question

Thanks for the replies.
The only markings on the barrel are as follows and in order:
B o 3 1
1801 ( matching ser #)
a ( small cursive)
388( or 333 or 383 or 888 or some variation of )

I might add that the cursive a is also found on the frame under the barrel.

those last 3 digits are very light markings and thus I am not entirely sure of their accuracy.
I am now curious about the .30 Luger chambering. I guess I was under the impression that this was a common chambering for a commercial 1914 DWM. The ser# on the barrel matches - as do all #'s on this gun. Would someone go through with the trouble of faking the # ? It looks to be of the same stamp type as the ser# on the rest of the gun. I have tried to post pics for you all, but have been unsuccessful at this point. Could email them to you.
