I bought this one this weekend from an lady who advised her husband shot bullseye competition with it around 40 years ago. She began to cry after I paid her saying he had passed about 2 years ago and it was like selling a part of him. They had it reblued by a local shop a few months before her husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Unfortunately the "gunsmith" buffed the heck out of the left side of the slide. It has a neat dovetail front sight and feels like it has been tightened up.

Neat! I love those old pieces. Tons of character. The front sight apears to be one of the old Clark longitudinal dovetail sights. I used to install a lot of those for the locals.
