After some research on cool gunsite, I think it is a Union Switch and Signal mbecause of the CO on the rollmark. Which makes the sin even greater.

Ahh, that IS a sad story laddie.

Pfft - I'd shoot it. GI rear sight - might not shoot it well, but I'd still do it.

Looks like all of the notches/groves/disfigurements have been smoothed, so you shouldn't have any blood on
your hands when racking the slide.

Hey GZ,

Take a look at the early '60's "Bullseye Guns" done by the Air Force & Army team armorers...(think it was before the "AMU" was)??

Mr. Giles comes to mind....

They worked with "surplus" guns (I know the bottom one is a Model 52....the upper one is in 38 special ) with what was on hand.

Almost all were exceptionally accurate...

Fellow I shot Bullseye with had a Giles 38 Special that looked real similar to this next pic...notice the "stipling' on the front strap.

Well, that stippling is sloppy as hell, but those guns at least were modified by smiths who knew what they were doing. It's not the half-assed, uneven scale pattern that trashed the slide on that US&S 1911.

 

[robertc1024]

I'd shoot that too. Yes, I'm a shooting slut.

The .38s were mid-range wadcutters where the bullet was set back to almost flush with the case rim. There was also a .38 AMU but it was briefly used. The sights on the colt don't look right for an AMU gun. I am pretty sure that the Colt serial number is a commercial number. AMU conversions, as I understand it, were done on GI issued guns, Ithicas, Remington Rands, Colt etc.

Always be wary of sidewinders.

Know your value

 

[Coop's Dad]

Probably no stock parts and reloads . Then blame the gun is defective

Looks like it used to be an 80%.
