Thanks for the prompt response!

I can't get to the website, nor can I see the photo. The receiver is stamped "Hembrug 1911" on the left side. The action is exceptionally smooth. This one is (at least now) in carbine configuration; short barrel and buttstock. It's light enought to be quite a handful when fired.

I have a forming die and a resizer -RCBS. I presume brass may be available from the guys that handle the obscure, obsolete stuff (I can't think of the name, but it'll come...). Finding loaded ammo may be too much to expect.

Does this thing have any value as a shooter?
