1920 Post WWI ?

Saxman, if this was is a model 1914, it would have a chamber date 1914 to 1918, if this is a earlier model, 1908 there would not be a chamber date, so we'll start at the model. Is it an 1908 or 1914 model. I am betting it is a "Dated Alphabet DWM" per Jan Still, but the "h" suffix is a bit off, I bet it still is correct, and tough too comment on with out seeing it in person. The 1920 is a property mark, newly manufacture or assembly from left over per 1918 parts and as Ed said started in the "i" range, but a lot of exception too the rules can be found in Wiemar period guns
