For starters this is a family heirloom, so to me it is still priceless. I received this back about 20 years ago from my father. He came into possession of it after my uncle passed away suddenly, so no back story. Well it is possible it came from my grandfather (My uncles father) to my uncle, unfortunately my uncle passed away before his father (My Grandfather).

Anyway just figured a little show and tell. From what I see on the butt it is stamped US ARMY 1917, 42 over 700. Grips, cant tell a thing but they are in real nice shape. The barrel is stamped "UNITED STATES PROPERTY" on the bottom with a small P right where barrel fits to frame. On left side up by rear sight looks almost like JM inside a G .
Yes somewhere in the past someone looks like added a rear solid rear sight. The front also has been built up and has a clamp on ramp added. No idea why someone did this or who for that matter.

Just figured I would throw this up for some to enjoy..
