[QUOTE="mtngunr, post: 4331453, member: 46104"] I had mentioned PDs as wondering if the original post photo was a UK weapon, Australia in particular, or perhaps Hong Kong, having also owned a RHKP Model 10 at one time....but, others beat me to more detailed replies including our own military of recent times, including the 1911s and successor M9s. I also look forward to hearing of the tropical finish details, my own military experience in tropics had us calling our always rusting equipment "tropical finish". (Ah, I see the parkerized reply posted as I typed, our tropical finish always involved black rattlecan over rusting parkerize. Our "rot-proof" synthetic gear did not fare well, as with a week or two of sweaty funk build-up, local bugs thought it a tasty sauce to liven up otherwise bland nylon...heck, was happy to get the obvious duty used 681 free of rust pits, gouges or scouring marks, most seen today for sale being real doggy bow-wows.)
