What a awesome thread. I too like the looks and have always wanted one. The one I spotted in the the gun shop (and bought today) is made in 1919 and has a matte finish.It will look good in my collection of early pocket pistols. Next on my list is a Remington .380 Thanks for all the info. This forum amazing. I don't come here as much as I would like,but everytime I have had a question about a early firearm somebody here has a right answer.
