cal: .45, semi-auto, (1) mag, barrel: 5", RH receiver marked UNITED STATES PROPERTY, sn: 1407853, from Mr. Davis's records: This pistol was part of the first of two production runs made in 1944. The pistol has all the correct markings, grips and barrel for a 1944 produced pistol. The magazine is marked L which stands for M.S. Little Mfg. Co. which is correct for WW2. I purchased the pistol from a shop in Bloomington in Sept. 2015. I paid $2500 for the pistol. It should appreciate in value; NOTE: There is a $25 transfer fee per firearm for transfer and/or processing payable to Gun World, whether the firearm is picked up or shipped
