Does anybody know anything about these? It does not have a serial number or Property of United States on it. It is nickel plated. No ponies. Grips are not authentic.

maybe a milsurp someones granddaddy had nickel plated...that happened back in the day. Maybe post pics in the USGI/collecter thread over on the big forum. Some of them fellers are pretty sharp. It could also be a "lunchbox" where the frames were taken by workers before they stamped.

grips look like the sandblasted ones colt used back in the 70's or 80's. some of the pins and the mag release screw are blued. and it might just be the angle but the front and rear sight looks like they're sanded down.

if I had to guess i'd say it's a parts gun somebody put together.

Thanks guys. From what I have been able to figure out is that it is probably an old milsurp gun that probably came home in someones duffel bag. Got rid of the serial# and the US property stamps and nickeled it.

Any markings under the grip panels?

It's got a flat mainspring housing, somebody was swappin' parts.

The slide looks like it had a melt job with all the sharp edges rounded off.

No serial number, is that something to worry about? I've seen one nearly identical that had been reblued with what appeared to be colts royal bluing, no s/n, or markings on the frame
