The barrel has the lettering "S&W DA 45" on the side, and two lines on the top of the barrel: "Smith & Wesson Springfield Mass USA", "Patented Sep 14 1909". There are numbers on the crane and the frame recess the crane fits into, these numbers match each other, although they are different than the number on the butt, etc. I'm betting someone was having a tough day at the office and that the barrel is original - that little "3" and that little "5" are very similar in appearance. ![]() The XXX portions match, only the "thousands" digit is different!
