That US&S is just beautiful. "Old Slab Sides" is my most favorite handgun, right behind pre-1918 Lugers and just slightly ahead of Colt single-actions.

Very Nice. For those who do not know, Union Switch and Signal was Westinghouse's railroad switch operation. Swissvale is a neighborhood of Pittsburgh, across the Monongahela from the old US Stell plant, more or less. Besides being fairly rare US&S 1911s are reputed to be very well built.
