Wow’sers!!!! Really good score there. Pretty hard to find with two matching mags.

Maybe the criticism helped in motivating him to get a new book going? What to do with the old Rough Forged set now as I’d like to get the new set.

P.38 byf44 d blocks is where you see some small unique features on the dual tones. Some are all phosphate, some are lighter color phosphate dual tones (like one of mine is). Off the top of my head, I can’t recall some of the other little things you can see in this letter block from time to time.

Heck yeah! I’ve been looking for one myself. An f block was the last ones. I’ve missed three now by accident, so maybe the next one I come across will be added to the collection.

Oh wow, I didn’t even notice that. Wish they were a little bigger so we can see them better.

Anyone ever see a dual tone HSc? I haven’t but was shown one by an HSc collector.

Those deserve to be photographed. Neat examples.

You’re probably correct. I have not encountered mixed German names yet, rather no overlaps with my serial number listings….yet.

She’s gorgeous! Can’t comment on the holster as I don’t believe I’ve run into one of those.

Thanks. Yes they are! I intended to only get one because that one had capture papers to it. Next thing I knew, I have 5. The 1945 ones are the really interesting ones to me. Late war, and these still kept high a polish finish with some errors, which is cool.

What serial number started January 1, 45?

Thanks. One day hopefully I can do that. Thanks. Yes they are! They are basically a Colt 1908 without the grip safety. Someone did a thread on one of the gun sites where they experimented and put the Colt 1908 slide on the frame of a DUO and it fit exactly. Not sure on the facility...

Thanks. They are interesting and seem to not have lost the early features such as high polish finish. There are minor little pock marks in the metal here and there, slips with the cutting machine, but overall they seem to have kept the early looks all through the War. One of these little...

Hello, I now have three DUO ‘45 dated pistols (and two ‘44 dated ones as well). Added one a couple of weeks ago that is pretty high in serial number range. Possibly still making it under German occupation. The slide is still “Opotschno” and not after the change over to “Opocno”. I have been...

With this, and my serial numbers listings, us collectors of these rifles should have a lot of our bases covered.
