Good news, I fired it and it didn't explode in my hand. It jammed a couple of times but that may have been either the I'll fitting grips or the way I was holding it. Can't thank you guys enough for the help.

N.C. ordinance is actually who I bought the first grips from. I just bought a plastic set from someone else hoping not to spend too much more and they don't fit either. My father in law used to make furniture so I'm gonna see if he can fix a set so I can actually fire it.

jcorl: i ordered royalwood grips. I don't even think it's real wood.  I'm a little upset, but that's what i get for not reading the description better.  They  don't fit flush to the frame in places and the whole for the screw isn't shallow enough for the screw to reach the frame.  I'm gonna go back online and look for something better.  If you know of a place that has good ones, please let me know.  I don't want to order another bad set.

Warbird:  I got it finally and as you requested, I oiled it up a little.  Once i get new grips I'm going to give it a good once over and really clean it, but not so much to ruin the patina.  I can't thank you enough, and I'm sure the 90 year old vet it gonna be pretty psyched about it also.  I'll send a pic when I get the new grips and fire it.  Hopefully it doesn't blow up in my hand.

OK, more progress and yet another setback. The hammer now moves which is good but it's definitely not right. I feel like the metal piece sticking up is somehow out of place. I'll send pics. Also the grips I ordered don't have the right depth for the screws but that's an easy fix.

ok, so i seem to have everything in the proper place thanks to your post, however it seems like the hammer or something near it isn't sitting right.  i have the hammer sitting on the strut but when i go to try and cock it, it either clicks down once and then locks or doesn't move. I have a feeling I'm missing a step or putting something in the wrong place. Works been a little crazy so I haven't been able to really play with it but when I get a chance I'll send a picture or where I think the problem is.  Thanks again, I've gotten a lot further than I had before thanks to your post.

OK, first I'm new to the site and the gun so forgive me if this question has been previously answered. I was recently asked my an older veteran  that apparently brought a pistol home from overseas if I could put it back together for him. As an amateur collector I clearly jumped at the chance. However as it turns out I'm completely unfamiliar with the pistol and can't for the life of me figure it out. I've exhausted all my resources amongst my friends and coworkers and I was wondering if anyone could help.

I know I need the grips, which I'm currently working on acquiring. My biggest issue seems to be that there is a specific order of events that need to be followed to get everything in working order. I've seen several exploded views of the pistol and it seems like I have all the parts, but I can't get everything in exactly the right place to get it all working properly.

If anyone knows how, or of a manual or anything that will help, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'll try and post a picture of what I'm working with.
