Dwight,

Thank you very much for this thorough expert evaluation. This was just the type of analysis I was hoping to get. To answer your further questions:

* I think a date may have been ground off the top of the chamber. While there is no evidence on the top of the chamber, the arc of the intersection of the bevel in front of the breech block with the surface of the chamber is somewhat flattened compared to my 1918 DWM.

* The center toggle link is numbered on the bottom.

Any further comments will be most welcome.
