Nice pistol. Be gentle with it, it's almost 100 years old. They sure knew how to finish them back then, too bad that has been lost over the years.
You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.

Earlier years hard fire blue controls. Those were crazy cool. This is the commercial model, not military.

Nice! And you got a dipped magazine. Very nice setup.

I bought it in the 1980s at a large gun collector show. It was expensive for the time, but I think it is very valuable to collectors today.
I did think of selling it for my daughters student loans, but I have always been happy to have a piece of history.
Last month production commercial model is a good find, and I knew it back in the day.
