All matching (there's serial numbers everywhere. Even the screws are numbered to match). It has a safety. It shoots 11mm black powder rounds. I read that you can load with .44 Russian brass. The gun is in really good shape, seems to be well cared for and maintained.
If anyone here has loaded for this gun, I'd be interested in more info.
I'm on a trading kick. Last week I traded for a Rock Island Armory 1911 A1 .45ACP. Why I waited so long to get a 1911, I don't know. What a great gun.
