Tapped holes in backstrap

Gundude, I'm not familiar with the 1920s "refinishing" program for commerical pistols, and I doubt that anyone else is. Particularly when it comes to pre1908 AEs that had been in the US for years. I agree with Pete that the threaded hole in the back strap was made post factory and for a screw attached stock. If this was the only problem, it would not reduce the pistols value more than 10%, than if same condition, without the hole. TH
