I always wanted one of these but couldn't see paying $600 plus for a 50% gun. This one is reblued and I payed a reblued price. They didn't mess up the engraving when it was polished. It was probably over polished but at least the design didn't have sharp edges or corners. I like it and it will get shot. Reality is I traded my only other .32 auto (savage 1917) and had some ammo left over.
I knew about the grip scales being different and may just leave them that way. Type 3 made in 1923. The problem with such a high polish is it takes fingerprint way too easy. I will have to wait until next weekend to see how it shoots. I don't expect much. I am told that it has sights. I just can't find them
Two more posts with additional photos ( I think). Software has me stumped and I couldn't manage to attach more than one photo to my test post.
