thanks one and all for the info and my education. Any other thoughts on this pistol would also be appreciated. Thanks again"Opoefc" and "Wiregrassguy"! Love learning the possible history of changes, etc. with this interesting piece. Cheers.

If I ever decided to shoot it, will first bring it to a qualified gunsmith to check it out. Did this with a couple of other pistols and use them now with confidence. Thanks again.
