Received this morning.

Collectors call this "Prewar Commercial", or "Standard C96". Large volume of them were made, it's this variation made C96 world famous. A few instances in excellent shape went through my collection, but this one is the best, coming with original matching stock in excellent shape. This condition is comparable with the one recently sold from Sturgess collection in October...of course, no Simpson LTD importer stamp, and cost much lower.

It's another instance that magazine floor latch frozen there. It has not been disassembled for long time.
