Need Help w/ Provenance & Various Other Questions

Skeeter,

Look at my PIC of the DWM mark on the top of the pistol. (The one posted right above me holding the clip between my thumb and forefinger).

See how the numbers 97 have lightened shading around them... Kinda like an oil slick in water? I think that is what they are referring to. I am guessing once you refinish, those go away and the finish is more uniform?

In any event, my next job is to check the bore (any help)? And, trying to figure out how much this was fired... And, get it's condition graded.

This board is informative and fun and I look forward to reading more and participating as appropriate.
