    Look in the cut-off relief. The K is lightly struck, but it is there.

    Not seeing the 'fat cannons' of the usual fake ordnance wheel.

    If it is a fake, it is a good one.

    First thing to do is to get good photos. The mosaic is about useless.

    May be a blessing in disguise. Look closely on each side of the cut-off. Does it look like disturbed metal/welding/refinishing to you? If it looks like a reclaimed drill rifle when in hand, just...

    This seems like a most probable explanation.

    The gun is real. The markings have been refreshed with a chisel after an extensive buffing.

    Pictures at 90 deg angles and correct orientation would help.

    I most certainly asked for input, and I'm happy with the bounty of replies.

    This W&S M1908 looks to be produced shortly after the hammer was lengthened. Perhaps late 1911 or early 1912? This must be what they...

    I'll take a closer look for the proper post-'68 import mark with the importer's name and address. Perhaps under the handguard? Can't take more pics until tomorrow.
