What's wrong with this?

I saw this today and thought it would be a good photo test. Some will know right off and others may not, heck I may even be way off base.

Norme has it, of course he would.
It's a short frame 1906 Commercial upper on top of a long frame i suffix grip safety. The lower falls in the serial range of the A&F and Swiss commercials.

And the serial number is?

Could you report the sn on both the frame and upper? Any more pictures?

Serial number is 2571i and the 1906 upper is 29667. You have the 1906 listed in your database but it is reported in both 9mm and 7.65mm. I put this on layaway only because the lower serial number sounded real familiar to me..as in I have seen it somewhere. I have always wanted a commercial in this i suffix range and now I have half of one.

The Alphabet commerical started at about 2000i in 1923. Since it has the grip safety, it probably is a left over 1906 long 7.65mm frame or perhaps a M06 Navy frame, if it also has a stock lug. TH

Stock lug not present.

Dwight Gruber 03-20-2017 09:30 PM

The long frame is in a part of the i suffix serial range populated with Swiss-style pistols for the Swiss market--long frames without stock lug, grip safety, variously with 3 3/4 or 4 3/4 inch barrels with old-style sights, Swiss cross-in-sunburst on the receiver.
