Interesting 1917 Artillery Full Rig

Big Norm, I agree with all you say. The pistol looks good, a little rough on the chamber area.

The stock looks good and it dosen't. I don't like the blueing on the stock iron. There is not one dent in the stock other than the Crown/letter stamp. This isn't right. The color is really light, has no real patina. I could see little of the wood to metal fit around the stock iron but it looked too good to be a repro. Really hard to tell without a hands on inspection. Jerry Burney
