Been doing a bit of research and clearly I stole it. Looks like it is a 1929 piece. The basic piece has a great history being requested on the larger I frame by a San Francisco gun dealer in 1911. Imagine that... First issued in 1911 so fit and finish is dead nuts. I can't wait to get back home, swing by Cabelas and shoot it.

That's quite the find Ed.
I bet the grips match the gun too.

Lucky you. You should have bought a lottery ticket the same day.  I still have the K-22 that I bought in the early 60's, that's one gun I never will sell.

Goes to show, there are still treasures out there for those that keep their eyes open. Good find.

Dave I expect them too. A penciled number on the grips.

EdM: Great score for you!
You beat me to that gun by about 24 hours!
I stopped there on my way home (east/bound) to Montana on August 17th and would have bought that nifty pistol in an instant had it still been there.
Good for you.
I had been out to the west coast chasing guns last week - I wish I would have stopped in (w/b) seven days prior.
Nothing came my way compared to your treasure.
Keep after'em.

I picked it up today and sure enough the grips have the SN properly marked in pencil. It appears they have never been off the piece nor any screws turned. ![[Linked Image]](http://i.imgur.com/zdgEWxb.jpg)

Where's the like button. Congrats Ed, sweet piece

Gorgeous pistol! Just looking at the inletting inside that grip shows that it is not a machine cut piece. Now the important question...how does she shoot?  Ed
