Looks like a very nice pistol. Congratulations!

[dbarn]

Thank you Scott. Most especially thank you for providing a website that allows a collector like me to look at known originals. That has been a tremendous help.

A very good friend helped me to locate this one. I could trace the purchase back to a shop in Orleans, Mass., called Goose Hummuck. That part of the Cape Cod area is a supposed home to military retirees.

Have a pretty good idea it was originally shipped to Sewalls Point VA in 1939. After that, I do not have a clue.

Very sharp. The grips are wood, correct?

[dbarn]

Thank you. Yes, the grips are wood with 28 diamonds between the holes.

Very nice '39 Navy. Another one to be proud of.

Thanks guys. The LGS that handled the transfer jokingly said it was previously owned by James Bond. lol

Glad to be the next caretaker on this one. Tough to find, lot's of competition, and expensive!


Must have been my lucky day. Even the assembler's mark is 7's.
