How 'bout the witness mark? Doesn't seem to line up to me, maybe it is the angle of the pic.

I've had a number of Persian outfits most had phony stocks and all are numbered in Farsi in the wood. All of the leather with this set is fake. If this is the group I looked at in Tulsa, which I think it is, only the pistol is original.

Mine is in the wood.

The receiver is "Erfurt accepted". That is more the unusual.
Although almost all DWM from 1916 on have the Erfurt acceptance on the receiver have the receivers of the LP08 the Spandau acceptance.
