Description:
A very good looking gun for being 107 years old, internally excellent and some externally freckeled areas (see pictures) but not pitted, likely caused by storage in a leather holster,    The inspectors marks are still present and nice and sharp, indicating this is an original factory finish, not an arsenal refinish. . Most parts are not marked and appear period with the right amount of wear. The barrel is marked HS and looks good with the gun. The bore passes for good to very good. The magazine is a two tone and also correct for the period. Appears nice and tight and probably shot very little for the past 107 years. Anecdotal evidence indicates that it was brought back by a medic in WW 1 and stayed in the family, but no providence is available. Need a FFL or a C&R license and certified funds for immediate shipment. Business and personal checks wait a week to clear. Sorry no credit cards anymore.Fully insured shipping to your dealer is included in the reduced price of  $1795, special for "Armistice Day" now referred to as Veteran's Day to commemmorate 11/11/11 of 1918. and let us not forget 11/10/1775 at
