40 (Standards came with fixed or adjustable sights).the basic difference is finish/grips and the "MkIII" only came with fixed sights. If it originally came with the familiar flat checkered dark wood grips it would be a "Standard". 40 and the finish would be Epoxy.not blue. IF your pistol came with the thumbrest plastic grips as original.and fixed sights, then you've got a "MkIII".
The very first mags accepted 11 rounds.they're as rare as hens teeth, but with the 1994 re-release.and the 1994 Crime Bill, 10 round mags were standard throughout production. The initial.very limited, 1993 production was held/called back due to a barrel dimension issue and series release of the. 40 BHP was initially introduced in 1993.the 3 year delay was used to develop a much tougher BHP specifically for the. 40 prefix.later it became "513", and the NV is the date code for 1995.date code system remained consistent from 1977 through end of production.
SM, your research re: SN is correct, "2W5" was the original.
