1935 Argentine Navy Colt Government Model

[jmoore]

This Government Model is out of the largest group of pistols delivered to the Argentine Navy during the 1930's, being one of 600 in a 1935 order. A little more than 1000 were purchased in several small groups during this decade, plus another couple of orders around 1940 or so.




It appears that the slide stop has been replaced, but it is a pre-WWII mfg. variant.

More photos coming if Photobucket will cooperate.

Moved to a different computer- seems to have done the trick...

Here's a slightly different angle. Looks almost like completely different pistol!




Most of these pistols will have the crest, but it seems to depend on the group in which they were shipped.
