I wandered into a small gunshop in a far flung corner of this land and happened to find an 1899 in their collection of used guns for sale. I gave it a look over and only recall the following details... didn't think it appropriate to snap pics in the shop...
DOM seems to be 1911 (serial# 1122XX)
Did not inspect or measure the barrel, sights were basic leaf style.
Forearm was an original slim Schnabel style, butt-stock was flawless - looked like a replacement.
It was drilled for a scope. Has a bronze rotor in the magazine.
Overall it was nice enough, but didn't strike me as a highly desirable collector given the D&T and new buttstock. I am not a fan of shooting the 30/30, but I may just pick it up and pass it on anyway...
Should this gun be of interest or is it a 'least desirable' model?
