Trying to make sense of the small numbers that appear in most (all?) Walther DSM sling slots.
Previously thought these were rack numbers for location owned and stored.
Now thinking that can't be the case as recently acquired one in the first range that also has that area numbered in same font. All others previously noted were in the D suffix second range.
Also have observed them on guns with different property marks captured far apart. Pretty sure one of these file photos is of a Police marked gun that Bob in Ohio has in his collection, other picture is on one with a Langemarck property mark.
Have come to the conclusion they are not rack numbers or property numbers and must have been factory applied for some other purpose. Perhaps stock serial number used supplied by sub-contractor?? Other theories welcome.
Would appreciate any reports on any Walther DSM that does not have such a number and any reports on what number appears on what serial numbers guns.
