    I have a model 1897 serial # D342xxx. All I can find online deals with WWI and II. My grandmother told me that her brother brought this weapon back with him from his tour in Korea. Someone on here has to have better resources than I do. I just wondered if it could be military issue. The only proof marks are the WP on the barrel and receiver and a double diamond shape on the front of the ejection port side of the receiver. I'm trying to sell this for my grandmother and would like to get a rough value of it.
    Thank you for your time.

    The serial number tells me that it is a 1913 vintage gun. The only way to provide you with the approximate value is for you to post a series of pictures of it. As for its history, you will need to track down its former owners.
