Following Bigl1911's great scores in Vegas, prompted me to post my recently acquired Triplelock S/N 384X. Seems to have a similar "inky black" finish and the stud by the grip is proud to the sideplate
:
First side-
Other side:
Someone along the way decided to highlight the roll stamp (which contains the "hidden" Smith & Wesson) on top of the barrel- As with Bigl1911's piece
Same poor indoor lighting as with the 2nd Model and the grips do number to the gun (gotta hold them to the light just right).
In other oddities, the backstrap, forestrap and trigger have fine cross-hatching (like you'd see on a hammer) ???
The bore is minty fresh and the action is very tight and "snappy". Just ordered 200 rounds of lead flat nose .44 Spl to give her a little "exercise".
