Post WW1 DWM Long Frame Production

Dwight,

That's a great idea to check whether the frame is reinforced. So I dug it out of the safe and pulled it apart to check.

~It's reinforced.~

So I guess that means the frame is later than 1914.

As for the barrel length, I stand corrected. I had done what you suggested. I put a rod down the barrel to get the measurement. Today I measured from the breach face. It's 98mm. To double check, I measured a 1940 Mauser military Luger. The military gun measures 100mm.

Finally, the Cross in Sunburst is bound to be for consumer appeal. Still, you have to wonder why it wasn't the Cross in Shield. Another example is my 1902 Carbine. It has the Cross in Sunburst also.

As for this thread, we are back to the core issue - post WW1 long frames. Have you checked your own #2641i to see if it is reinforced? Everybody else, please chime in with post WW1 long frame pistols.

All interesting! Thanks.
