three digit gas trap on Julia Auction

[Bob Seijas]

I don't think so... just from the three pix RCS provided the gas cylinder looks refinished, front sight is wrong, I don't see any numbers on the handguards or a stock cartouche. I haven't looked it up on Julia for better pix.

The Ziegler gun turned up in the late 1970s... serial was 46195, by far the latest Gas Trap known at the time.

well they believe it to be - remember when they had the Wardor Garand that belonged to David Carradine - I was surprised that they were not up to speed on M1's - they have a mint Singer 1911 in the March auction cant wait to see what that one goes for

I would enter my 1684 in the competition. The serial is ground off for presentation as a retirement gift, and the stock has no cartouche because it was not delivered, but the rest is mint and all original to the first production contract, including the welded seam rod. Also in the contest would be 19059 that was sold out of the Burt Kellerstedt collection, totally original and near mint. Both were featured in the GCA Journal in the past.

I noticed that serial number 338 is going to start at $35,000 on auction
