Pistol appears to be a reblue and perhaps a parts gun. The unit mark indicates 117th Infantry Regiment, Machine Gun Company, weapon 15. The holster looks like it may have at least one plug in the back which makes me suspect it has been reworked.

If the gun is as I suspect it is worth about $700-$900 tops.

Joe, welcome to the forum!

1. Please post photos here on the forum, photobuck photos usually don;t stay long
2. Half aren't showing up
3. Dark side of the moon, my gut feeingl is that Geo had seen this same gun at a local show

thats why he could state so much with so little showing in the photos

Ed, I based my opinion on the very weak/shallow 1910 date marking versus crisp grip strap marking. Also I think I see a leather plug on the back of the holster. Pure speculation based on limited info.
