Question about 1911 Luger

Thanks to all who have help me to get an answer. First Ron, yes pistol shown is mine. The other I reference was also in similar condition. I also appreciate the patience and effort to not only explain but photograph where the pin would be. Frankly, I would never have seen it if it were there. Whereas I really like Lugers and have a few, I am not very knowledgeable with the critical detail as to how they function. Per post 27, I can confirm this pistol has not had a hold-open pin installed. So I conclude the slide will not stay open and that is proper as manufactured. I really enjoyed this thread. Dan
