No story - It's supposed to be a 1917 am told - But I want to check the numbers myself - She's not the prettiest but still nice - MC have one he was telling me -


Neat piece - Have the beaver safety similar to the 1911 platform - These were supposed to be issued to the officer's rank back then -

Mine is 1905 vintage I think coltfoum.com has the serial number range.  Yes some high ranking officers and the OSS in WW2 were both sometimes issued these.  I think Al Capone had one as well.

Quite early then with early features.  I need to see if mine will function with jhp.
