Hi Pepe

The numbers on your gun have been redone at some point, there is very little doubt. Exactly when this was done no one will be able to tell you. So your friend may very well be telling the truth.

I have looked at your gun very closely and I believe your gun is actually in the 15000 range not the 1500 range.

I see a proper DWM 1 & 5 above your SN and based on the spacing believe that your gun is SN 15584

This is based on the pictures you provided and there is some chance of error in the exact number.

I would like for the other members to comment on my observations.

The 1900's are a little out of my area so my question to them is if I am correct would this make the rest of the gun more appropriate, safety lever for example.

As far as your gun being a Portuguese Test gun, we have a long way to go to prove this but if I am correct in the SN this is much closer to the range that we would expect. that being around 18700

I look forward to hearing from the other members

Vern
