I know 'm new.... but I find this combination also a bit "odd" as you say.. especially with the holster as well as the mag matched to the pistol. A holster match is VERY unusual isn't it? An overstamped trigger with an attempt to match to 4286, (looks like the original 2 digits are "17" and the new barrel cut sear "35" do make this pistol as a whole "mismatched."
If the holster as well were not matching, I would tend to see this gun as a shooter. The matching holster, however, makes it more difficult to dismiss it's collector value. My tendency would be to see it as a shooter.... but I would be very interested in what the experts have to say on this one.
Interesting story!! Perhaps if you could piece together and document the story behind this rig, then it could be more of a collector?
I like this post. Nice photos. Interesting
