My first PP RIG...

Well - to be honest - it's my first PP or PPK, but let's not go telling everyone, OK? Anyway - some of the details are:

SN: 355002P, which I believe, puts it about 1944 manufacture. Blue is 98% with very minimal wear by the end of the slide where it sat in the holster for years. The one "issue" it has, is that the right grip (top/forward) is broken. As well - I'm trying to deciper the holster maker, which is difficult given the nap of the leather, but the WaAmpt proof is clearly evident (see pics below). Bore is excellent.

I bought this a few days ago - when buying something else, and had some trade value left after selling a couple of newer production 1911s. After the smoke cleared - I paid about $400 for this RIG (I hope I did right?) - but it was purchased from the son of the VET who brought it back.

Anyway....

Holster:

Holster Markings. Notice the maker stamp at the top of the flap - I think the last 2 digits are "44"? Also - I have no idea what the ink stains are from..:
