HELP! 1918 DWM Artillery w/o Acceptance Marks - Page 2

Helio-Abt · 03-09-2012, 04:19 AM

The proper artillery notch in the receiver is present. So I believe it is a numbers matching, refinished 1918, with a later stock. The rear sight looks fine on close inspection.

Now to see what final price the owner will take....or not

Thanks for the assistance

The gun is definitively a refinished gun. The different color on the barrel is result of incorrect temperature during the rebluing, which gave it this "plum" color. Very common mistake.

The wooden grips are also replacements.

As already stated, it is overpriced.

Good luck with your hunting!
