I don’t know the serial number or the YOM but the “bump” in the checkering at the top of the wrist should be round rather than pointed like a DH and the checkered cheek panels look to be rounded at the rear instead of coming to a more pointed end... but very early CH’s may be like this one and the little cove in the checkering above the grip cap seems to indicate an early gun.
