[QUOTE="doctruptwn, post: 739253, member: 5207"] I'll send these new photo's to some sources and see what comes up, if anything. Your right about the Barrel. It's a High Standard and would date to WWII. I'm wondering if this could be a CMP rebuild, In which case the Value could be somewhat higher. If you had CMP paperwork, it would be valued close to Vintage WWII guns, CMP would have issued a build sheet, unique to that gun showing all parts origin and marking for that pistol. Without the paperwork it is just a unique pistol, with some heritage and history behind it. The "VP" proof mark and inspector "5" mark may be just the info we need to get a breakthrough. Those aren't common marks for a aftermarket frame. [/QUOTE]
