Glock 19 Identification 9mm Gen1?
http://s42.photobucket.com/user/model1892/library/?sort=3&page=1
I recently obtain this Glock 19 9mm and am trying to research what generation it is. I have searched everywhere online and I know it is not a Gen 4 because I just bought one and the Gen 3 is definately different. I am really thinking this is a Generation 1. Can anyone tell me?
Serial number begins with DS and the slide is stamped with a big N and the letters DV beside it. Also there is a stamp that favors a bird with his wings spread.

Glock Generation 2. DS serial from 1988.
There is no G19 Generation 1, except for some hotly disputed novelty items.0 -
The marks your refering to, as shown in your photo here are Austrian commercial proof marks.
The 3 letters on the barrel, ( ZTT ), are a date code. Austria used to have a numerical date stamped next to their proof marks. They adopted the 3 letter code, in the 1980's. Unfortunately unlike the Germans, they have managed to keep their code a secret. All I have been able to find out is that the first letter is the month. Second letter is always "T". And the 3rd letter is the year.
I have found one reference, for the years 1983 to 1989 codes. As Hawk Carse noted, "T" represents 1988.
