08 Commercial/Army
 

Hi all,
I just got this scarce 08 Commercial Army. #70712 commercial diverted to the military with C/X C/X C/X acceptence stamps. Jan Still's Central Powers Pistols shows #70415, a 1914 Commercial Army with a stock lug. This one, without a stock lug is 297 guns later in the commercial series, which makes me think it was made in 1914.

WOW, what a find. Appears to be in great condition as well. Congratulations !!!,

Mike

Thanks Mike,
It has a few areas of pitting, but overall better looking than some of the photos. It has probably been sitting in a sock drawer for many years.

Very nice! Thanks for photos!

Congratulations! A very tough variation to find (I mean really tough...only a handful are out there). It is 833 numbers after mine so it is certainly in the range and I agree, it was made in 1914.

OOOoo... It's gonna rust in Louisiana! I think you should send it to me.... :evilgrin:

Super nice piece. I have 70945 without a stock lug.
