from the 1950's with the small font serial and Micro sights, eagle on one side of grips etc. I think it was 1957? The accuracy potential is astounding. We have seen chicken egg size groups at 100 yds. depending on it's preference for ammo. With a 4X Leupold scope I've shot black birds out past 100 yds. I didn't hit every one but it puled it off when I lined it up correctly. More than one person was impressed and it validated the plausibility of "Handgun Hunting" to a new convert.

I paid $75 for it in the 1980's and had it parkerized. Old stock grips from Numerich, late 10-shot mag with button flipped over.
