The news is that the inside is remarkably clean, so I'm wondering why so much outside finish was done.  And under the grips is a rusted mess.


No signs of any import marks anywhere.


I'll definitely replace all the springs before shooting.

It's rusty under the grips, and the grips only have some guy's scratched initials.

The barrel doesn't appear relined and has "9mm parabellum" in Fraktur font. It does not appear to be a replacement.

The proof marks exactly match my German hunting guns from 1910s-1930s, so I'm assuming those are original civilian proofs.

Do you know where import marks are supposed to be?

Can you tell me what your conclusion is based on?

There is no import mark. I've looked everywhere it might be to meet ATF requirements.

Greetings.  This came to me by way of an estate.  I know it has been extensively re-worked and isn't worth nearly as much as an unmodded original. They even cleaned up some of the production machine marks.  But I'm trying to determine what the original model and sequence was, and possibly who did the work. Is this an Oyster Bay rework?
