Decided these parts were just too nice looking to use for my carbine project. I can't explain why such a nice pistol lost it's barrel and grips and became "parts".

So I installed the original finish, Germany marked 6" .30 bbl on this 5 digit 1920 commercial frame and receiver. Frame and receiver in original rust blue and straw also, but came with this 42 code toggle train- but it matches the finish close enough.

Anyway a nice looking shooter and one that shoots well also. No problems even with Fiocchi ammo, which I attribute to the higher velocity from the 6" vs. a 4" or 2.5" barrel!

Anyway, I'm happy enough with the way it looks, handles, and shoots!
