  It may well be the original 2 digit serial #, dating it's manufacture to 1918. But, trust me on this, Remington-UMC never sold any .45's to the US Govt with flying ducks engraved on the slide; THAT was done by Bubba before he reblued it. And, if the barrel is unmarked, it is a commercial replacement, not original, and not USGI replacement.
  
  You have a shooter that I would expect to sell in the $400-500 range. The mag could be worth up to $100.
