SN 1584n. Cal. 9mm 8″ bbl with adjustable rear sight and full SN on bottom. 1917 date above chamber. DWM scroll on center toggle link. All numbered parts on gun are matching. Checkered hard wood grips that are unnumbered. Wood bottom magazine with numbers that do not match. With a unique artillery holster that has had the flap modified to a button closure and the strap loops in the back have been replaced with a single button closure that appears to act as a belt loop. Stitched onto the front of the holster is the original matching stock lug to the gun. The wood board has been cut off just behind the lug and stitched onto the holster, so the holster itself acts as a stock. The modifications are old, possibly done during war time.
