If I'm not mistaken, the early Sistema Model 1927 pistols used a frame made by Colt in the USA, and all the other parts were made in Argentina. (Correct me if I'm wrong) After a few thousand, everything was made in Argentina. I have one of the very early ones. Mine was rough, very rough, but the frame was still very good. I have since replaced everything expect the frame. Sold off all the take off parts for more than I paid for the entire pistol. So basically, I got a free Colt frame.
