1923 Broomhandle 30cal Thoughts

It looks to be an M30 or 1930 Broomhandle by the step on the barrel. Looking at the back of the pistol as if fireing it, there should not be a serial number on the lower half or the pistol. The M30's supposedly have the serial number stamped on the barrel/cannon assembly and the rear upper half. Also take off the grips and look at what is under them. This can be a real sensitive area for rust. Also the frame under the grips should not be stepped.

Hope this helps
