Sneak Police with Mag Safety

Hugh,

This is the first time I've tried to parse one of these things out, so...the L1. makes me wonder. I don't see a reference to anything like it in either Still or GÃ?Â¶rtz & Bryan. Is it positively a 1? Picture??

Otoh, I can say that, according to Still's revised nomenclature, the t serial block makes it a BKIW-manufacture alphabet Commercial, made in the middle of 1929. But you probably knew that. [img]wink.gif[/img]

Is the locking bolt numbered on the edge? It seems curious that the trigger plate is numbered on its face. Is there any indication that it might have been rebarrelled?

It is a nice piece.
