I know the date is off on my camera, so one more shot for the conspiracy theorists.

FN,
I have been messing with guns for years and decided to wander into the rabbit hole, I pulled out the take down lever and the side plate fell of while I was messing with the barrel assembly. I knew it was on. I find taking stuff apart not too difficult, it is the putting it back together that gets interesting.

Thank you for taking the time to post the link, I will watch them all.

Regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas, While you have your gun apart, could you please take a picture of the view shown below. Your gun has some troubling features, and your photos still leave much to be desired. Thanks, Norm

Norm,
I wish my pics looked that good! I am struggling maybe these will help and thank you for your patience.

Best Regards,
Thomas

Thanks Thomas, Based on your latest photos I tend to believe the finish on your gun is original. Even though your gun is a DWM it has an Erfurt proof on the receiver (see comparison photos) which is not unheard of. It also has an Erfurt proof on it's takedown lever which is more troubling (see third photo). I would also like to see halos on the barrel serial, but that could be your photos. Anyway, the jury is still out, but I am leaning towards genuine. Regards, Norm

Definitely reblued, perhaps other issues.

I appreciate the help, it is off to the lake until Wednesday, wish me luck! Bass beware and you guys are safe from me until my return. I will post a new pic or two, of fish, the bass in pics may be photo shopped for enhanced purposes.

Thank you gentlemen.

All the best,
Thomas
