I think the first part of 1917 is a good estimate, although it might even have been as early as the tail end of 1916.
I'm unclear about this "11" - is that stamped into the left side of the butt, the inside of the stock, or merely written in pencil on the inside of the stock? In any event, it may be no more significant than being the identifying mark of the assembler or fitter of the revolver.
