Unit Markings On A Dwm 1917

Bob,

I am fascinated with the markings on s/n 4605n! As you have observed, pistols with multiple unit marks have a lot of history. Is it possible for you to post a good photo of these marks? If not, I would appreciate a detailed description of them including location (frame or grip strap?; if frame, which side and where?) and exact marks including upper/lower case letters and all periods. Thanks very much.
