Default Model 12-1 FRPD 1961 ,cool gun.
Traded for this a month or so back. Just got the camera and took some
pictures.
Never seen a model 12-1 before.

WITHOUT LOOKING IT UP,, can you guess what F.R.P.D. stands for?

Lightweight and tight as can be ,carried some and fired little.

I really like this KA-38 a lot ,hope you do too.

Regards ,
Allen Frame





Notice how thin the hammer is , all the internals on the early model
12s are thinner than those of the model 10.
