North American Arms sighting

[Rob Greer]

As I mentioned, the lettering and finish are the two major problems I see with this piece. That being said, this one could very possibly be the most affordable NAA currently for sale. Any potential buyer should know that it was likely an all correct, original piece, but has been refinished and re-lettered. The ad and price both reflect that. IF this was all original, the price should be about twice the asking price. It is not a bad piece, it is just not original.

I did some photo work and placed one of the pics from the ad along with a close up of the slide markings I took of the NAA pistol at the Citadel.
The ad/unknown pistol picture is the one on top. My picture of the Citadel NAA is on bottom.
Close, but there are some differences.

Pictures are the best I could do with what I had.

Here are the rollmarks from serial number 55....FWIW.

Hi Oldcanuck,
Does your #55 actually have #56 on the trigger? It doesn't look like it's a 55...

[oldcanuck]

Yup.... 55 on the slide and frame, 56 on the trigger. I guess it was hectic in the toolroom that day !!!!!!!

By any logistical and logical standard of such a sequence of numbers on a rare and worn pistol as yours, I think you are correct.

[oldcanuck]

... on a rare and worn pistol as yours....

Actually there really isn't that much wear on the pistol. However the original copper oxide finish, being quite fragile, and it being stored in a holster early on it's life, hasn't helped the finish.

FWIW, this is the roll marks on #24... (Sorry about the uneven lighting... I'm working on it!)

[oldcanuck]

Rob,

Whats the number on #24's trigger....??? I appears to start with a 3 ????
