Portuguese 35/06 GNR

Doug, One negative on your proposed trade; the holster appears to be a standard 1906 model, never modified or marked for the GNR. Also the cleaning rod with the brass shaft is the standard DWM provided with the M1906. By 1935, the Portugese were making their own steel shaft rods with course knurling on the oiler caps. This pistol may well have been used with the M1906 accessories, but from a collectors point of view, I'd rather have it with the later long belt loop GNR marked holster and Portugese made cleaning rod.
