US&S

[MrOverlay]

If it isn't one thing it's another. Stopped in one of my LGS since the snow and ice has slacked off a bit to pick up another suppressor and then it happened. After being escorted to a secret location I had a gorgeous Union Switch & Signal 45 placed in my hand. The price was out of my normal range, but I'm sure some arrangements could be made.

I guess it boils down to purchasing a piece of history or not.

Decisions, decisions.

Might have been mine. I was born and raised not far from Olive Hill (but on the other side of the river), bought a DCM US&S .45 in the late 1950s, and several years later sold it locally.

If you pass, and you really did want to own that rare item, when would you again have the opportunity?

Never, probably would be a truthful answer, especially from a long time friend who could make it work.

Hey it's just money, the Government prints more everyday.

Depends on condition and price of course. It might be worth having an expert look at it. There a lot of mixmaster out there.

The slide looks pristine. If you make an offer ensure the slide and frame match (serial number for US&S) Also correct barrel. Small parts can also unique to year made and manufacturer. Changes occurred throughout production. I believe US&S only made 35,000. Colt and Ithaca made about 350,000 each and Remington Rand made over 1,000,000. If it is correct it would be a buy for me.

1911's have really gone up in the past years...especially US&S and WWI'S. I had at one timme maybe a dozen of them but sold off most.

 

[MrOverlay]

I could post more pictures, maybe.

The slide is correct. The frame is correct with proper stamping.

The deal is done. Picking up tomorrow.

Other side of gun.

That gun is very nice. I sold one about 4 months ago that was a 95% gun and got 9k for it, if your into for less than that your ok.

SN range should be 1041405 to 1096404

 

[MrOverlay]

Apparently towards the end of production.
