Need Help w/ Provenance & Various Other Questions

Hey guys. Thanks for all the pointers. Yes, all the small pieces have the 97 suffix, at least the ones I can see and I agree about taking it apart. I did not know about storing it in the holster and will remove it. Thanks for heads up on that too. I'll get the matching magazine posted tomorrow and see if it can be repaired. Basically, part of the wood on the leading edge has chipped away and so the plug pivots partially out of the magazine. It still holds but would not under usage. I am fairly certain it is authentic. I just cannot figure out the holster issue.

I'll try to get some better shots of the pistol if it would help anyone.

Again, appreciate all your comments. It helps me understand what I have. As stated above, the fact that I got a family heirloom really hit home. I nearly cried when I got it.

Take it easy,

JKC
