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.

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
