Ouch. Yes Jim I am convinced the for sale gun is being misrepresented. I was pretty sure soon after I started looking close at the auction pics. But the primary reason I went the extra mile(s) with all the detail, dual pics, pointers, etc. is I am grateful for all the input from members and I don't want to see anyone in here possibly overlook the details I noticed. Some of you old farts may have bad eyesight. (said the old fart) I would hate to have not spoken out and a member here wind up with it. Heck it took me more than a few hours to share everything I spotted and my wife's yard long honey do list ain't getting any shorter. (I think she added 30 items while I was in here making nice pictures for you guys.)
Since I guess I didn't convince you and you have a wealth of experience, I would love to hear your take on where I may be wrong. If I ever see another one on the table in front of me what you have to say about it will be valuable info.

I think I've been bitten by the vintage firearm bug. I collect vintage safety razors too so I guess I've jumped down another rabbit hole.
Interesting pics. Tell me about the 1911's and holsters, did they come with the other gear? What is the grip/trigger assy. in the middle?

The center is a OSS "Liberator". It's .45 and made by "Guide lamp" of GM I believe...bit of an oddity...I think they're making them again though.

When I first looked I thought I was looking at a frame with the slide off. Zoomed in I see it is the whole gun. Very cool item. Have you ever shot it?

HDSledge, checkout the "fit-up" details on this M1A1 (clone) auction on Gun Broker. Hope your new "shooter" stock turns out better. - Bob

Agreed, thanks. Very interesting history on that and very rare, one can fetch 5k they say. A single shot made of 20? stamped parts. Have to use an included wooden dowel to get the brass out after firing and range was a few yards tops. Amazingly impractical but great historical item.
