Model HSC Pistol / Re: Questions on early phosphate HSCs

Jim, you didn't pay "too much", you just might have paid "too early"! 


I didn't see the demonstrator on GB but wish I had.  This is an interesting niche in the world of HSc's...

Model HSC Pistol / Re: Questions on early phosphate HSCs

I wanted to add my phosphated "demonstrator" police HSc to the pile!


It is serial number 881321 and has the EXACT same shade of phosphate finish as the pistol pictured in this thread.  It is E/L marked and came with the black ejo grips.  The entire pistol is phosphated except for the springs and the mag body and follower are also phosphated (the fingernail base is blued). 


The pistol came with capture papers but sadly, doesn't include the pistol's serial number.


I'd say there is DEFINITELY enough pistols in the same block and with the same characteristics to erase any doubt as to their authenticity! 


Please add my piece to the database and let me know if anybody has any questions.

Model HSC Pistol / War Era Presentation/Engraved HSc's

« on: January 26, 2014, 10:19:58 AM »

Over the years, I've seen various war era presentation and/or engraved (to individuals, not floral) HSc's for sale or on display.  If any of the forum members are owners of or at least have pictures of any of these pieces, I am kindly asking that they post pictures for everybody's learning and enjoyment.


I greatly appreciate this forum and the fact that it allow me, a relatively seasoned HSc collector, to continue to learn!
