Just picked one up. Appears to be original blue finish about 50%. No rust or pitting. Bore very nice. Serial number 138034. All numbers match. Smooth walnut grips. Ordinance bomb top rear left side of frame. Eagle head S21 left side behind trigger. Eagle head S24 rear face of cylinder. Eagle head S2 bottom of barrel at rear. Eagle head S2 inside left side of frame where crane locks up. Also number 213 located there. This number also on inside of crane. Bottom of frame with lanyard loop. Marked US ARMY MODEl 1917 No 138034. Bottom of barrel marked "UNITED STATES PROPERTY". Just a very slight play in cylinder with hammer down. Virtually no play with hammer cocked. Very smooth tight action. Fired 6 rds of 45ACP using half moon clips. No problems. I see no step in bores of cylinder. Is this correct? When was this pistol made? Any other information would be great. Thanks. EdInformation
