Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the slide is not original to the pistol. There are other issues also... the rampant Colt should be circled, rear sight should be rounded, the thumb safety is later, Magazine release is a type III, but should be dimpled, the main spring housing pin has been replaced, slide stop is WWII as is the hammer, the WGP cartouche is missing from the refinish.
Now, with all of that out of the way... it would be very interesting to learn more about B.G. Lathem. Please keep us up to date if you learn more about him - or this pistol.

will do, yea its a mix master. The other forums i posted it on also stated as much. It also explains the like new WW2 barrel. I think this will be my shooter since its been pieced around. Luckily i didnt pay a dime for it... inheritance.
