The grips are smooth wood with what looks like a bird in a small medalion. It is in excellent condition.

I will look for the two books.

Steve -

Please post some pics. I'm pretty sure mine is an ex-Argentine Army 45, but my book on 45 variations disappeared, so I have only my memory to go by...which isn't very reliable...

What marking did the BA Police stamp on it???

Mine has black Bakelite grips...

BTW: I bought mine for $250 some years ago...maybe 15 or 20...CRS again...
