Ron:

9mm. Shoots great.

alamar:

Thanks for getting those pics up for me.

Sorry it took so long to follow up on this guys, but some deals just take forever, this one took over 21 months!?!

I did contact Holland and Holland about the barrel. They said it was not their's as they would have stamped it "Holland and Holland" not "H&H". They thought it an interesting piece though. I think the barrel is probably from the Dixie Gun Works.

Now a follow up. I acquired three mags as spares for this pistol and was wondering about their reliability, value etc.

Mag #1:

Stainless (or maybe in the white) mag body. Body is two pieces folded together at the back ridge of the mag. Magazine bottom piece is aluminum. And is marked as follows: "6956" below that is a stylised lower case "d", below that is cross plus "+" and below that, right at the bottom is an eagle with 63 underneath. Also, the magazine connecting pin for the bottom piece does not go through the knob, but at the back of the mag.

Mag #2:

Blued one piece steel (at least it looks so to me). Markings as follows: at the bottom left side of the mag at the back, "P.08" right beside that "939". On the same side of the mag but at the front bottom is "fxo" with an eagle with"37" below. At the top on the same side is another eagle/37. The magazine connecting pin goes through the knob this time and the magazine bottom piece is black plastic (or some other synthetic).

Mag #3:

Identical to mag #2 except no 3-digit number after the "P.08" marking at all and the magazine bottom piece is aluminum and connects the same way.

Thanks guys.

Cheers,
sparky
