This gun was "inherited" from a friend with not much time left on the clock. He purchased it in the 60's and only fired it once or twice in all those years. I suspect the weapon was reblued and possibly re-barreled at some point in it's nearly 90 years. The front sight is not the half moon style, but more of a 1/4 moon with ramp style I've seen on the post war models. The bluing is surprisingly good with some wear on all the leading edges. As far as pics go, I took some (phone)with the intention of posting them, but when trying to import them they wind up getting cropped. If I can figure it out I will post them. It's really a nice looking firearm. All the background and info I've received from all of you is much appreciated. Thanks guys
