I had a l918 given to me by an elderly neighbor I've helped out a lot. Her husband brought it home for WWII so she did not want to sell it and none of her kids wanted it. I'm guessing it has been reblued since there are no proof marks on the barrel or on right side of reciever. What is on the right side looks like they have been almost rubbed off. Barrel is 91mm from ejector cut to end. All numbers I have found match exept mag. Holster is weel worn and has no markings I can find.

On the trigger guard is a crown with RC under it. The other mark I cant figure out. There is no maunufacuter's mark on top of the toggle like I've seen on most pictures. I'm I right that this is a shooter not a collector. Thanks, Dave

Dave.... Welcome to the forum. You are probably right in calling this gun a "shooter" but it also a nice token of somebody's appreciation for good things that you have done.

It does look a bit "scrubbed", the rebluer must have got a bit carried away.
