I will do that, just came back from the US, so probably next week!Inside only.
Just a different angle .
Will try and post pics of the other marked type that is a bit more common.
You willing to do a forensic exam of Dons old gun? If yes start a thread something like " forensic exam of 1941 HK 11799 .
I have most of 11795 in clearly original finish to help compare things with.
Never saw this one but Lee Kelser let me look real close at his at a NAPCA show in KS years ago.
Nowdays loupes have lights so much easier to see.
These guys can no longer defend themselves, but I will try and showing this guns soul to the world should put this witch hunt to bed .
ADDING
Alien if you are interested 11795 is here in numerous places to include thread " HK 11795 WHAT IS IT" . Well it was there still back in the cobwebs last time I looked.
Pics there to compare to and a list of markings.
BTW the frame front is CLEARLY not messed with and has the big 7 CENTER digit just like all 117xx guns I have ever looked at.
Regardless of date .
There was a thread asking for info on 117xx guns here. Would like to add yours if you do not mind .
This is of course after looking it over but I trust Dons judgment on these.
Well no comment on the 1945 but he got rid of it.
