Age and worth

[DonVoigt]

I can't agree that it is a mixture of "finishes", it is likely as it was re-worked/re-barreled in about 1940.

The name on the bottom of the barrel is likely the re-furbisher, the E/N is the nitro proof of 1940 and the E/J is the re-work proof of the same era. Yes, it is a mixture of parts, but not in the normal sense, JMHO.

The piece is probably just like it left the work shop of the gunsmith/ re-bulder. We see others and the bigger retailers like Frankenschloss marked them with their own trademark.

It might appeal to a specialist collector of private sales/ownership pistols of the era; still not valuable - but interesting- at least to me.

So here's a few more pictures of the barrel and also the case. The eagle on the slide seems to different from the ones on the barrel. It is a 9mm and I've had it out shooting a few times. No problems with chambering or ejection

Not sure why the other pictures didn't show on the last post but here they are

Eagle on slide. Sorry about the individual pics but no what I tried it wouldn't upload them in succcesion. I gues that's why I use a hammer for a living instead of a computer...
