Finish is 20% or less, mechanical function is 100% as always. In 23 years of nearly daily carry, it has had no failures or breakages. None, zip, nada! Has been carried thousands of miles & shot thousands of rounds & definately my favorite.

s/n 25366 (I love full serial numbers for research purposes) is a very early piece - probably made during 1967 at the latest - production began in 1965, but I don't know exactly when and I don't know (yet) the volume produced during those early years. I would like to know where the serial number is stamped and whether the right side of the barrel has the "BRIDGEPORT CONN" stamp on it, please. This gun was made right around the point where that stamping was beginning to be used.
