Here is one I just picked up at a gun show. GREAT FIND!
I was told by the seller that he remembered seeing it on a shelf in a collection when he was just a kid. Some 50 years later ( last month) he acquired it and put it in my hands.
This gun is flawless! All numbers match including the penciled numbers on the right grip.
I would rate this gun at 99% and better - like new - not a mark on it.
It was built on a 1917 frame as indicated by the eagles head inside the yoke.
It is factory lettered and was shipped in 1923
I paid "BIG BUCKS" for it but believe it is worth even more than I paid. You rarely find these in this condition for sale any more.
I bought it with my wifes money cause I'm broke - just don't tell her or I'll be homeless too
