Should I be disapointed, Part 2 - PICS

[lugerholsterrepair]

Bob, DO NOT attempt to remove the sight from the barrel unless you know exactly what you are doing! These sights are actually fragile and some are held in with set screws. A good Friend broke a sight base in 4 pieces because he was un aware that a set pin existed. In his defense he was un able to raise the sight ladder to see it..

Just do what George says...

Thanks for the warning about removing the sight. I've gotten so wrapped up in this I probably would have tried it.

From what I can see under the sight, with the sight raised to maximum, is:

- stamped perpendicular to the barrel (i.e. like the date), the numbers 442
- stamped parallel to the barrel, just above the 442 (toward the muzzle), the number 3. The 3 faces the rear of the gun.

Once again, any comments, O Learned Ones? To answer my own question, yes, I'm a bit disappointed, but not terribly so. The pistol is in such great condition. And if this is a reblue job, I'll eat it.

I guess I'll just have to be happy with owning the finest friggin' shooter-grade arty ever.

Thanks for the help. You guys are great.

Bob
