The chamber, left side of the front sight base and the left side frame rail are all dated 1917. The front toggle is marked with the "DWM" scroll. The left side of the barrel extension has the Crown Imperial Navy proof followed by two "Crown/M" Imperial Navy acceptance marks. The left rear of the barrel also has the single Crown Imperial Navy proof and the underside of the barrel has the small "Crown/M" acceptance mark over the matching serial number. All complete and partial visible serial numbers match including the renumbered to match magazine. Fitted with checkered walnut grips.

Excellent. The pistol retains 95% faded original blue finish with some muzzle and high edge wear. 50% original straw color remains on the small parts. The grips are also excellent with some mild wear, a few tiny nicks and crisp checkering. Mechanically fine.
