Hello, Thor.


Thanks for the response.

Your answers go a long way to helping me form the history of the pistol.

Haven`t seen the pistol, the description I have is by questioning the seller over the email. I will be able to pass your questions along to the seller for more information.

The "LaPlata" markings are on the right frame rail, is the "LaPlata" stamp a period marking?

The numbers are matching, ie. "57". As far as the location of the "S/42" that is unclear and the suffix letter was described by the owner as looking like a small number "81".

I can understand this description as I am still unable to decide whether the suffix letter on the pistol I own now is a small case "g" or a "q"!

As far as a chamber date I believe he mentioned 1936.

Any thoughts on the rough value? The owner was hinting around in the 500$ range.

Thanks again, andy
