Moosedog:
Sorry, I lost track of this thread. It is apparent that the backstrap had been polished/milled down to get rid of any identifying marks. The rear of the magnas is not flush with the backstrap but is flush on the other sides, indicating to me that there was metal removed.

Aerojoe:
Not sure why there is a problem just because no .45s were issued to the department. I never indicated that it was an issued gun, only what Roy's letter stated.
