Is there anyway to find out what ship this gun could have been issued to? Serial # is 174803 most parts are original, except slide and main spring housing which is checkered instead of the 7 groove. Blue I got is gone and has very light pitting on frame and a few big pits under grips but nice solid gun. Slide is from a 1941 so probably an arsenal rebuild?
Slide fit and barrel lockup are both very tight no play at all. All internal parts are in very good shape, some very minor pitting.
Looks like whoever it was issued to went over board at one time. Wish these guns could tell their story.
