Balder,
Look at the second picture. You can see where the hold-open has been added and the proof mark.

Mike,
Beautiful weapon! Coincidentally, some years ago I also bought a regimentally marked DWM from a friend whose father acquired it in WWII. It is a 1912 in about the same condition as yours and he also had a .22 cal. conversion unit in the large wood box acquired at the same time (I got it too).

Funny how these things turn up. My friend's father was an infantry Major at Bastogne and later went on to become a Brigadier General in the Finance Corps!
