[QUOTE="jakeman, post: 3884443, member: 10690"] I field stripped it and wiped everything down and lightly lubed it. Nothing under the slide except a couple of stamps on the barrel. (Pictured) [ATTACH type="full"]313121[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]313122[/ATTACH] I “think” that barrel was either manufactured in Israel or purchased by them and then stamped by them in the 10th month of 1985 or 86. P is a proof mark and M is magnetic particle crack checked. I found varying opinions. [ATTACH type="full"]313125[/ATTACH] Nothing on the grips except what I believe are right & left part numbers. I can’t date them unless someone here can. [ATTACH type="full"]313124[/ATTACH] After reassembling the pistol, with just a very slight dose of care the “idiot scratch” should be 100% avoidable. I think those are caused by either a lack of knowledge or just flat out being careless. That thing went back together very easily. [ATTACH type="full"]313123[/ATTACH] The only way I can date the slide is by the size of the lettering, and it does not run the length of the slide stop. This would have been a Type 3 slide manufactured some time after RR Serial No 980000 up to end of production, so from sometime in ‘43 up to ‘45. Pretty neat, even for an old dude like me. I have thoroughly enjoyed the process and holding a piece of history like that in my hand. Owning it will be a joy and an honor. If any of you milsurp guys catch any mistakes in the above, I’d love to be corrected. Your comments and criticisms are welcome. Clearly owning a pistol like this ain’t for everyone, but i clearly don’t fall into that group. I wouldn’t take for it, and I’ve owned it for less than 24 hours. [/QUOTE]
