This is the 1917 Arty that is in my uncles estate. It has been reblued and all the numbers match EXCEPT one - on the take down lever. The holster is an obvious repo. There are some surface scracthes on the underside of the barrel. (nothing into the metal)
I believe the executor is going to sell it. If anyone is interested send me an email. I've tried to present it in it's true condition. See the pictures. Also check out the post of the Nambu and repo 45 cal Shansie too. I'll post them under the Artillery heading since they are 'off topic'.
