It also appears to me that the sherrif wasn't a shooter or by the looks didn't carry it much either. It stayed pretty much perfect. That's nice!

The pistol was made in a time when there wasn't a lot of money around and times were hard for most, so I decided to risk the $100 on a Colt letter to see who would pay for a National Match. In this case the gamble on the letter paid off.
For as long as I can remember the Sheriff of our county has not worn a pistol, and the last Chief Deputy did not wear one either.

Now that's what you call real documentation. A beautiful example of an early NM with some history. Hard to beat. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Johnny for the "Show & Tell". That is a beautiful pistol. Do you have a copy of Timothy J. Mullin's book "American Beauty" The Prewar Colt National Match Government Model Pistol? Definately a must have for NM owners.

Yes, I bought the book before I found the pistol, and that just flamed the search. A nice book to have.
