if this is carbon steel it is doing pretty well no signs of rust after months.
I have pictures that clearly show the ser# and the silver pistol.I reached sid Woodcock and he is checking he said it could have been one of the specials made for the seals.I told you it was a mystery.Ser#'s wrong and to high, pitting looks as if it comes from casting. slide has same # engraved on it and only "DETONICS 45" on the slide. BUT it shoots great!!
