Simpson's lost mind

Gerben,

I've given this one a lot of thought. Rre-use and re-numbering of frames is also one of the presumptions in the theory of post-war Commercial guns being made from military production parts. As the serial numbers were stamped after the pistol was fitted and finished, re-used and re-numbered frames would imply the existence of a lot of other re-numbered parts, which are not seen in practice.

Joop probably has more to say on this subject.
