Hi everyone.
I recently acquired 08 commercial army sn 70589. It is in excellent original condition throughout with original matching magazine. It has, however, two "issues". The first is the side plate is mismatched with same era DWM military plate numbered 78 exposed. The second issue is that it has a small cut on the bottom of the muzzle swell. It looks to be neatly done. Does anyone know what this might have been for?? Possibly for a Sudicatis night sight?? Any insight greatly appreciated. Regard,
JV

Jared,

RockinWR has a good hunch: maybe the cut in the muzzle band is for hold a Polte insert barrel. See this post:
