What do you mean by unmarked reinforced sideplate?

As far as I know some Model W+F 06 magazine wooden bottoms bear the last two digits of the serial number, but normally I don't think that sideplates shoud bear any number.
Basically we can fid 3 types of the Mod 06 W+F

1st ) is very similar to te older SWM 1900/06 apart the shape of the grips.
2nd) was blued by immersion so all the internal parts are blued, and on some of them we can find a simplified breechblock without the small step on the upper side.
3rd) the latter variation, with blued internal part and simplified trigger plate

But apparently it's quite possible to find the 2nd and 3rd variations mixed up.

Hope to have been clear.

My gun was made (according to the S/N) at the end of the 24 model run. At about the time the trigger plate was strengthen by enlarging the ridge all the way from bottom to top of the plate instead of just !/2 the way up the plate. The gun came with the old un-strengthen trigger plate but with the #22 on the bottom edge instead of the #79 (last two numbers of the S/N)
