Just got a PM from Frank H and he has clarified that there is no GESICHERT marking, only the polished lower position. That makes it right. He's got a good gun. I was thrown off by his earlier post that "the GESICHERT is in the upper position", when he was actually intending to indicate that the piece is on safe (gesichert) when the thumb safety is in the upper position. I'm back to my #1 guess, a special order 1913 Commercial. An excellent rig and a marvelous find. Break out the bubbly and toast this one. We should all be so lucky.
