[QUOTE="jakeman, post: 3884373, member: 10690"] What little research I’ve done has it sometime in ‘44. It has a USGI replacement barrel (.45 Auto 7791193 85). The Guy H Drewry Inspector stamp. P proof stamps top slide and below/behind mag release. A 35 assembler stamp on right front of trigger guard. There are a couple more very faint/partial markings I can’t identify on the frame right side, below slide and behind grip. (see pic). One of them is definitely a stamp, the other I’m not so sure. I haven’t had it apart, so I don’t know what is under the slide, but will there be any numbers on the RR slide anywhere? That’s all the external marks/stamps I can find. I believe this pistol as is, in its current configuration has been carried in service. It has some slight holster wear marks. Top of rear sight is lightly polished, as are the edges of the frame & slide. It’s obviously been stripped and cleaned or it wouldn’t be scratched. The safety looks to be fairly new. It’s not parked, and it’s black/blue. I’ll take it apart and clean it in the coming days, and see if I can find any more marks/stamps and see what I can find about them. [USER=45783]@okcBob[/USER] unless there is another [USER=45783]@okcBob[/USER] over on the CMP forum I found you over there. Lots of good info there. Asking these questions here because I’m new over there and this is kinda home. [ATTACH type="full"]313093[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
