Age and worth

I can't agree that it is a mixture of "finishes", it is likely as it was re-worked/re-barreled in about 1940.

The name on the bottom of the barrel is likely the re-furbisher, the E/N is the nitro proof of 1940 and the E/J is the re-work proof of the same era. Yes, it is a mixture of parts, but not in the normal sense, JMHO.

The piece is probably just like it left the work shop of the gunsmith/ re-bulder. We see others and the bigger retailers like Frankenschloss marked them with their own trademark.

It might appeal to a specialist collector of private sales/ownership pistols of the era; still not valuable - but interesting- at least to me.

So here's a few more pictures of the barrel and also the case. The eagle on the slide seems to different from the ones on the barrel. It is a 9mm and I've had it out shooting a few times. No problems with chambering or ejection

Eagle on slide. Sorry about the individual pics but no what I tried it wouldn't upload them in succcesion. I gues that's why I use a hammer for a living instead of a computer...
