Well this one is an artillery model, DWM 1916, reblued but apparently not buffed to oblivion. 9mm. I have no idea if the numbers match, but once it has been re-blued, then the matching numbers thing becomes a bit less important.
Value is a tough call on Artillery models with lots of disagreement here. Original guns in decent shape start at $2k and go up. Re-finished or mismatched shooters seem to bring around $1k or more.
This one looks pretty nice, so I'd try for a bit over $1500, but that is just a matter of finding someone who wants one AND has the money. And it also depends on numbers matching, good function and bore condition.
Others?
