Well I just got back from the range.... Wow. Awesome! I even let the range master put a few mags down range and he loved it. I'm even more excited about the gun now. Thanks guys!

Thanks again for the research and input. Sorry I didn't get around to posting those right side of the frame pictures. Here are a couple of the right side and 1 of the marking on the left side of the trigger guard.

I don't know enough to strip it down to the trigger and hammer so I don't want to try that but I did have a look at the barrel and found the markings HS on one side of the lug and P on the other. Doing some research, I found out that these stand for High Standard and Proof which were used for production during 1944-1945

I've posted this here before and it is a huge help. Nice piece of history you have there...
