Those are pretty poor pictures, but they seem to bear out what you said. The problem is that the Model 1901 should not have a four digit serial number (numbers were in the 166xxx - 199xxx range and were always stamped on the butt in two rows of three numbers each.

I would like to see better and closeup pictures of that butt marking; there is something odd with that gun.
