MichaelZWilliamson:
Greetings.  This came to me by way of an estate.  I know it has been extensively re-worked and isn't worth nearly as much as an unmodded original. They even cleaned up some of the production machine marks.  But I'm trying to determine what the original model and sequence was, and possibly who did the work. Is this an Oyster Bay rework?
 SN 8308XX, matches on upper and lower, does not match on baseplate.

1914mauser:
It is an early M1930 model and was most likely imported from China in the late 1970s to early 1980s and then reworked by Oyster bay or whom ever imported it. The import mark will tell you.


Regards,

MichaelZWilliamson:
There is no import mark. I've looked everywhere it might be to meet ATF requirements.

1914mauser:
It may of gotten by unstamped or the marking removed during refinishing. There is little doubt that it is one of the Chinese imports.


Regards,

MichaelZWilliamson:
Can you tell me what your conclusion is based on?
