It seems like in the first few years after WWI, round butts were still fairly common. So, one that letters to 1921 doesn't surprise me at all. By the mid-20s, that seems to have changed dramatically, with the square butt dominating production.
You are correct that the pics aren't too helpful. I cannot tell what the finish looks like, or if it is original. But you do show the extractor rod knob that we expected to see.
I hope you can pick this one up. When you get it home, you can post better photos.
